Anche il Garante della Privacy contro i rischi dei video su internet e il web2.0

Il Garante italiano evidenzia i rischi di usare youtube,facebook e altri siti web2.0, citando il rapporto inglese.

Al momento Fioroni, Gentiloni, Landolfi e i media tradizionali sottolineano i pericoli del web per mettere consenso sul codice a tutela dei minori che sostengono tutti, destra, sinistra, giornalisti.

Quello che non dicono e' che il Garante inglese INVECE INVITA ALL'USO DI QUESTI STRUMENTI:

"Be cautious...
Be careful about what you post online. Little bits of information can be used by others to build up a picture of you that could be misused. Don’t reveal your home address, telephone number, date of birth or where you work to strangers. Keep your password safe and avoid obvious ones that others may guess, particularly if you also use it for other things like internet banking. It’s also worth having a separate email address just for social networking so you don’t have to give away any other contact details.

But enjoy...
Most people do use social networking sites safely. They are a great way of meeting new friends and keeping in touch with old ones. Control access to yourself online the same way you would offline. As long as sites allow you to control who you contact, who contacts you and what, if any, information they find out about you, they can be a privacy-friendly way to socialise.

If something starts to spoil your enjoyment – unwanted attention, offensive comments – report it to the site administrator.

Above all, learn how the sites you use work and use them safely.

Happy networking!

Top tips for protecting your personal information

• Check out the privacy settings of websites
• Read the privacy policies and user agreements regularly
• Keep passwords secret and change them often
• Remember what you tell people online can affect your safety offline
• Reality check – would you want parents, teachers or employers to see your profile?"
