This thread has been set up with a view to continuing the conversation begun in the Topic Tuesday discussion:

"Let's Chat: Safer Internet Day // Tues 8th February"

https://saneforums.org/t5/Special-Events/Topic-Tuesday-Let-s-Chat-Safer-Internet-Day-Tues-8th-February-7/td-p/1145283

{All website addresses coloured teal are accessible directly from the links in this post}

The eSafety Commissioner (eSafety)

https://www.esafety.gov.au/newsroom/whats-on/safer-internet-day-2022

is the official coordinator of the global Safer Internet Day effort in Australia. This year the theme is #PlayitFairOnline.

The graphic presented in the eSafety Commissioner's site esafety.gov.au "educators campaign kit" considers the issues of:

Respect	Kindness
Resilience	Preparedness to Ask for Help
Safety	Responsibility
'Upstanding' for and supporting others

Daisydreamer gave the introduction to the Chat session as follows:

"The 8th of February is Safer Internet Day; a national awareness day to promote safety online. We are online more now than ever in history, accessing the internet for work, education, social connection, support, information, gaming.... the list goes on!

Part of using the internet is knowing how to do so safely so our experience is free from cyber crime, cyber bullying, and allows us to get the most out of technology.

As an online community, we rely on the internet to connect with each other, share experiences and seek help. Let's chat together about safety online, and how we can look after ourselves and others when using the internet."

The primary questions asked in the chat session were:

{which may form the basis for discussion in this thread}

What are you most interested in when it comes to Safer Internet Day?
- Is there anything you hope to explore in this discussion?
Question 1: What does safety online mean to you?
Question 2: Have you had experiences online that have felt unsafe or been exposed to unsafe content, and
- how did you take action to address the situation?
Question 3: When we think about online spaces that feel kind and respectful,
- What sorts of behaviours and communication are we seeing in those spaces?
- What makes an online space feel welcoming and respectful?
Question (4): Unfortunately, cyberbullying is on the rise with more and more people relying on the internet for communication and social connection.
- If you have experienced it, in what locations have you experienced cyberbullying? {Please keep anonymity in mind}
- What does cyberbullying look like?
- Where can you turn for help or support when experiencing cyberbullying?

Websites that address the online safety issues from a range of perspectives, including parents, adults, sporting and academic environments can be found at the following website addresses:

I hope that this thread will be a useful resource for ideas and a place where members can offer suggestions and ask questions about online security for themselves and others for whom they care.

With Best Wishes

Hi @HenryX and thanks for the tag to this new thread.

Incidentally I never got a notification, despite the tag. I was just browsing new threads and came across it by accident.

Not a problem, as far as Im concerned. But letting you know, because I expect others tagged did not get it either. 😄💜

@Emelia8, and @StuF

Thank you both for your feedback regarding the tags. You have assisted me in determining that I cannot copy tags from another post, which is exactly what I wanted to know. I believe that it may be the reason that other member's tags are not successful, because the member address links are not active when copied from another post.

Part of my process of working out what works and what does not, for my own benefit as well as for everyone else for whom the knowledge may be useful.

I will go back now and re-enter the member addresses manually. Time consuming, but unless there is any other way, that's the way that it needs to be done.

@Emelia8, this is an opportunity, also, to express my wish that recovery is progressing in a positive way for you after the operation.

@StuF, I hope that your situation is positively stable or improving.

Thanks again to you both

With Best Wishes

These are great questions @HenryX ! I'll have to give them some thought before I reply but thank you for starting this thread 😊
