Did you know it’s Privacy Awareness Week in the Asia Pacific Region? If you’ve got young people in your life, who you’re trying to impart the privacy-awareness message to, have them check out the three-minute video, featured on our YouTube channel, that the Asia Pacific Privacy Authorities (APPA) launched to mark the week.
The video features a series of animated scenarios that highlight the potential consequences of posting personal information online. Would your child, niece, nephew or student want their grandma, coach or teacher to see what they’re posting online? If the answer is “no” they need to watch this video – and learn to think before they upload!

“Would your child, niece, nephew or student want their grandma, coach or teacher to see what they’re posting online?”
That is some sage-like advice that everyone – especially adults – should live by. Before you upload anything, ask yourself if you want your grandma to see what you’re posting.
