Today, Tuesday, February 9, we celebrate Safe Internet Day, an initiative by SaferNet in search of a safer and more accessible internet. SaferNet is a non-governmental organization that brings together professors, researchers and scientists to discuss human rights on the internet. The NGO has organized events to discuss the topic since 2004 (2009, in Brazil). This year, due to the isolation caused by the new coronavirus pandemic, the events will be held 100% online.
