About our SID activities

To mark Safer Internet Day 2024, Gen Z social discovery platform Yubo has partnered with the UK Safer Internet Centre to learn about the online experiences and perspectives of young adults and teens. 

In collaboration with the UKSIC, and in support of the UKSIC’s own research released today, Yubo polled users in the United Kingdom aged 13 to 24 years old to understand their views on emerging technologies like generative AI, and how they experience digital platforms from a user-safety standpoint, in response to this year’s Safer Internet Day theme.

What we are doing to create a better internet…

It’s the responsibility of digital platforms today to adapt and evolve their safety infrastructure according to new technologies and new potential safety risks. Yubo puts safety at the core of every decision made for the platform and has come to be recognised as an industry leader in online safety innovation. Online safety experts and respected thought leaders in the areas of child psychology and law enforcement make up Yubo's Safety Advisory Board and help oversee the expansion and development of our online community. In 2022, Yubo became the first social media platform in the world to age-verify 100 per cent of its users, a measure aimed at preventing bad actors from misrepresenting their ages on the platform, enhancing the accuracy of age ranges among new user connections, and combating fake profiles and bots.

Collaborating with NGOs is also a key element of Yubo's approach to fostering a better internet. We are proud partners of Internet Matters, INHOPE Network, GIFCT, and many more organizations around the world.
