It was noted that Safer Internet Day was established by the European Network of Safer Internet Centres “INSAFE” in 2004 to promote safe use of the Internet among young people and children in particular, in order to inform future generations about the threats of global networks.
Every year on the 2nd day of the 2nd week of February, awareness raising events are organised on occasion of Safer Internet Day under different slogans in more than a hundred countries around the world.
Data Protection Day has been marked on January 28 since 2007 at the initiative of the Council of Europe.
