Sheep on the net

SHEEP ON THE NET 

On youtube, there is a series of short videos about the internet safety for children, called ,,Sheep on the net". They are showing the dangerous sides of the internet, but in a friendly way and kids can learn how not to behave while using the internet and what to be aware of. The characters which appear in the videos are sheeps which are representing children and shepards who are representing adults who are analyzing the behavior of people on the internet and tell children how to use it properly.  The main goal is to educate children about the dangerous sides of the internet.

Here are examples of videos that you can find on youtube:

1. This video is called :,,Secret Friend" and is telling a story about a girl who was chatting with a secret man on the internet who was acting like he is her friend. It was about the grooming.

2.,,Without a sheepskin coat" : a video about publication of nude photos and recording on the 
internet.

There is also a website which both teachers and children can usehttp://www.sheeplive.eu
There are educational games for children and scripts for the lessons for teachers about the internet safety.

Safety of the children on the internet

Safety of the children on the internet

The internet is a great source of information, easy way of communication and has so many different functions which can make our lives easier that we could think that it doesn't have any cons. But it can be dangerous also.Mainly for children. It's important to know how we can protect them and how to tell children to use it properly.

Mainly children can face risks such as: inappropriate content, cyberbullying and online predators. Using apps and websites where kids interact, predators may pose as a child or teen looking to make a new friend. They might prod the child to exchange personal information, such as address and phone number, or encourage kids to call them, seeing their phone number via caller ID.

Internet Safety Laws for children:
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) -A federal law, which helps protect kids younger than 13 when they're online. It's designed to keep anyone from getting a child's personal information without a parent knowing about it and agreeing to it first.COPPA requires websites to explain their privacy policies and get parental consent before collecting or using a child's personal information, such as a name, address, phone number, or Social Security number. The law also prohibits a site from requiring a child to provide more personal information than necessary to play a game or enter a contest.

How to protect children on the internet?
Parents should pay attention to what their children do on the internet. They should know how to protect them from dangerous situations and they should talk to them in order to teach them how to use internet safely. There are some special online tools that let parents control their kids' access to adult material and help to protect them from Internet predators. Many Internet service providers (ISPs) provide parent-control options. Parents can also get software that helps block access to sites and restricts personal information from being sent online. Other programs can monitor and track online activity. Parents should get involved in children internet activities. They should talk to their children about it.

Basic guidelines to share with your kids for safe online use:

1. Follow the family rules, and those set by the Internet service provider.
2. Never post or trade personal pictures.
3. Never reveal personal information, such as address, phone number, or school name or location.
4. Use only a screen name and don't share passwords (other than with parents).
5. Never agree to get together in person with anyone met online without parent approval and/or supervision.
6. Never respond to a threatening email, message, post, or text.
7. Always tell a parent or other trusted adult about any communication or conversation that was scary or hurtful.
8. Basic guidelines for parental supervision:
9. Spend time online together to teach your kids appropriate online behavior.
10. Keep the computer in a common area where you can watch and monitor its use, not in individual bedrooms. Monitor any time spent on smartphones or tablets.
11. Bookmark kids' favorite sites for easy access.
12. Check your credit card and phone bills for unfamiliar account charges.
13. Find out what, if any, online protection is offered by your child's school, after-school center, friends' homes, or any place where kids could use a computer without your supervision
14. Take your child seriously if he or she reports an uncomfortable online exchange.

Watch for warning signs of a child being targeted by an online predator. These can include:

1. spending long hours online, especially at night
2. phone calls from people you don't know
3. unsolicited gifts arriving in the mail
4. your child suddenly turning off the computer when you walk into the room
5. withdrawal from family life and reluctance to discuss online activities

Call the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at (800) 843-5678 if you're aware of the sending, use, or viewing of child pornography online. Contact your local law enforcement agency or the FBI if your child has received child pornography via the Internet.


Talk to your kids! Parents should keep an open line of communication and make sure that their children feel comfortable turning to parents when they have problems online.

DATA PROTECTION LAW

DATA PROTECTION LAW

In this post we are going to present the Data Protection Law. We think that it's very important that everyone knows their own rights and know how to protect their private data on the internet.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS!

Everyone has the right to

• the protection of personal data concerning him or her
• access to data which has been collected concerning him or her, and the right to have it rectified

This right is enshrined in article 8 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights.

What to do if your rights have been breached

The authorities of EU countries are bound to comply with the Charter of fundamental rights only when implementing EU law. Fundamental rights are protected by your country's constitution.

How to report a breach of your rights

National equality bodies

All EU countries must designate a national equality body responsible for promoting equal treatment.

These bodies must

• provide independent assistance to the victims of discrimination
• conduct surveys and studies
• publish independent reports and recommendations

If you feel your rights have been breached you should contact the national equality body in your country.

Types of breach

Violation by a national authority

If a national authority violates the cCharter when implementing EU law, national judges (under the guidance of the European Court of Justice) have the power to ensure that the cCharter is respected.

Violation by an EU institution

The cCharter protects individuals and legal entities against actions by the EU institutions that infringe fundamental rights. If this happens, the European Court of Justice has the power to review the legality of the act.

The European Commission takes action against a national authority

The European Commission, can take an EU country to court for violating fundamental rights when implementing EU law. But it cannot do so when only national law is concerned.

European Court of Human Rights 

Independently of their obligations under EU law, all EU countries have also made commitments under the European Convention of Human Rights. This means that you can - as a last resort, after exhausting all remedies available to you in your own country - bring an action before the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg if an EU country has violated a fundamental right guaranteed by the European Convention on Human Rights.

To see whether or not your complaint is admissible, you can consult the admissibility checklist of the European Court of Human Rights.

What the Commission is doing to protect your rights

Law

The European Commission put forward its EU Data Protection Reform in January 2012 to make Europe fit for the digital age. More than 90% of Europeans say they want the same data protection rights across the EU – and regardless of where their data is processed.

The regulation is an essential step to strengthen citizens' fundamental rights in the digital age and facilitate business by simplifying rules for companies in the digital single market. A single law will also do away with the current fragmentation and costly administrative burdens, leading to savings for businesses of around €2.3 billion a year.

The directive for the police and criminal justice sector protects citizens' fundamental right to data protection whenever personal data is used by criminal law enforcement authorities. It will in particular ensure that the personal data of victims, witnesses, and suspects of crime are duly protected and will facilitate cross-border cooperation in the fight against crime and terrorism.

On 15 December 2015, the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission reached agreement on the new data protection rules, establishing a modern and harmonised data protection framework across the EU. The European Parliament's Civil Liberties committee and the Permanent Representatives Committee (Coreper) of the Council then approved the agreements with very large majorities. The agreements were also welcomed by the European Council of 17-18 December as a major step forward in the implementation of the Digital single market strategy.

On 8 April 2016 the Council adopted the regulation and the directive. On 14 April 2016 they were adopted by the European Parliament. On 4 May 2016, the official texts were published in the EU Official Journal in all the official languages. The regulation came into force on 24 May 2016 and will apply from 25 May 2018. The directive entered into force on 5 May 2016 and EU countries have to transpose it into their national law by 6 May 2018.

Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data.

Directive (EU) 2016/680 on the protection of natural persons regarding processing of personal data connected with criminal offences or the execution of criminal penalties, and on the free movement of such data.
