What we are doing to create a better internet...

To ensure the safety of citizens online, including children,  the NICTA and PNG Safer Internet Committee have implemented various measures. These include public awareness campaigns to educate citizens about online risks and how to stay safe, providing resources and support for individuals and families to protect themselves from online harm, and partnering with stakeholders to address online safety issues. It is essential that we increase our efforts to create a digital agenda that empowers and keeps our children safe.
