See. Speak. Stop.
Young people are using Snapchat, TikTok, Instagram, and other social media platforms to connect with friends and explore new content.
They often find comfort and friendship online, with many considering their online friends to be their closest confidants. It’s common to share personal stories and secrets they’ve never told anyone else. But it’s important to remember that not everyone online is a true friend. Some people will use your feelings of loneliness or your search for connection to manipulate you.
Many teens have reported being approached by someone online who tried to pretend to be their friend just to take advantage of them. It’s essential to recognise these risks and protect yourself to keep your online experience safe and positive. The “See. Speak. Stop” campaign aims to help young users recognise harmful behaviour, report wrongful conversations, and seek help when they feel uncomfortable.
Through the “Speak Up, Stay Safe” campaign, we’re committed to:
- Raising Awareness: Educating online users about the dangers of manipulative and wrongful behaviour.
- Encouraging Action: Empowering young users to report harmful conversations and seek help from trusted adults.
- Breaking Secrecy: Reducing the stigma and shame that prevent reporting, making it clear that seeking help is a brave and necessary action.
