An idea worth spreading
The future of the Internet offers both great promise and great peril. If we don't take responsibility to make the Internet a safe place, we will not realize the great promise that the Internet has to offer our global community. Education is the first step to improving the safety of the Internet - it is the responsibility of all our network citizens to educate themselves about how to be safe online, and it is the responsibility of those of us in the business of the Internet to drive this education forward.
