Information and media literacy are two of the most important things for children, young people and adults. Young people use social media in particular to find out about current world events. The massive presence of misinformation, often in combination with (extreme) right-wing content on youth-oriented social media platforms such as TikTok, therefore presents young people in particular with major challenges when it comes to correctly evaluating and classifying information. Increasingly, AI-generated deepfakes are also being used to emotionalize and fuel extreme positions. In this way, false or misleading information reaches millions of people in a short space of time and increasingly threatens our democratic values. We are all called upon to do something to counter this.
The Safer Internet Day campaign, which this year has the motto: "No likes for lies", is organized by the klicksafe.de platform. It is about safety, education and developing an awareness of dangers on the internet. Because these lurk around almost every corner, especially for children and young people, who may be even easier to influence. Join me and help protect our youngest members of society from online dangers.
