According to the WHO,
“The Internet presents a world of opportunities for children and adolescents, but it also threatens
communities with inappropriate content, cyberbullying among peers, and online predators – whether
that is via connection to the Internet at home, in a cybercafé, or by Smartphone. …
While the Internet provides practically unlimited potential for acquiring new knowledge, rash,
unconsidered acceptance of its content can mislead. Therefore, one cannot be considered digitally
literate until he/she has the ability to judge the reliability of online information. Unfortunately,
critical evaluation of online information is generally lacking in society.”
