Over the past few months, we’ve introduced a consumer education campaign called Good to Know in the U.K., Germany and the U.S. Good to Know shares easy, actionable tips for protecting and understanding your online information.
Everyone wants to stay safe online, so we’re making our Good to Know site (google.com.au/goodtoknow) available in dozens more languages -- about 30 today, and an additional 30 in the coming weeks. (To change languages, just scroll to the toolbar at the bottom of the page). In addition to making our Good to Know site available in Australia, we’re also incorporating relevant local information into the Google Family Safety Center website, which includes tips for keeping your family safe online from Google and others. By partnering with Australian organisations like Kids Helpline and The Australian Communications and Media Authority, we hope to help Australians increase their web savvy.
You’ll be able to learn about how to protect yourself online, gain insight into how your data is used on Google and around the web, and get tips on managing your family’s online experience. For example, you can find out how to choose a strong password, recognise a phishing scam and double your account security with 2-step verification.
We all have a friend who uses the same password for every web service, leaves his mobile phone screen unlocked and thinks that a conversation about spam and cookies must be someone planning an unconventional meal. As digital literacy becomes increasingly important, we hope you’ll take the time to learn more about staying safe online and spread the word to your friends who look to you for tech help!
