Synopsis
Canadian kids are digitally savvy and they value their privacy, but
they can also be unsuspecting about the potential privacy risks of new
digital communications technologies.
The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada has created a graphic
novel, Social Smarts: Privacy, the Internet and You, to help young
Canadians to better understand and navigate privacy issues in the
online world.
The 12-page graphic novel- is designed to appeal to tweens and younger
teens.
Developed with feedback from young people, it tells the story of a
brother and sister who learn (sometimes the hard way) about the
privacy risks related to social networking, mobile devices and
texting, and online gaming.
