Think before you . . .
How an MOD campaign is helping the Armed Forces Community stay safe online . . .
With Twitter users sending 200 million tweets per day and over 700
billion minutes per month spent on Facebook, Social Media tools have become the
quickest way to share information across the world. But who are you sharing information with?
If you use social media as a way to stay in touch, then the online
guidance produced for the MOD’s Online Security Awareness Campaign – Think
before you share . . . – may be useful for you to enjoy the benefits of sharing
information while staying safe online.
In our latest podcast,
SPVA presenter Joanne Lowe interviews Pippa Norris from the Directorate Media and
Communications to find out more about the campaign.
Pippa said:
“Our campaign is for all the Armed Forces Community. We want people to
enjoy using social networks but we also want to ensure they have all the
information to protect themself online.
The information would benefit any member of the Armed Forces Community,
so please take a listen to the podcast today”
Laurie Manton, SPVA Spokesman said:
“As
part of the MOD, we at SPVA have a responsibility to raise awareness of the
guidance so that wider awareness can be spread among members of the Armed
Forces Community. Our own staff use
social media as a way to raise awareness of our services, so we have found the
guidance useful and it will help us stay safe online too.”
The podcast and other SPVA social media products are available to access
on the SPVA Social
Media Hub via the Veterans-UK website, www.veterans-uk.info , and on various
social media sites such as iTunes
and YouTube.
