Social Media Campaign on Digital & Internet Safety by Assam Police Smart Social Media Centre

Guwahati: Social Media today has an intense impact on our lives. With the younger generation spending more and more time on social media, it’s important to ensure that all of us understand positives and negatives of the internet culture, as its impact is only going to keep growing exponentially in our lives. To that end, in continuation of the #TheThinkCampaign, Assam Police is launching a two-week long Cyber Safety and Awareness Campaign in partnership with UNICEF Assam- #ThinkBeforeYouClick.

It is to be noted that this Social Media campaign from the Assam Police is designed to raise awareness among children, youth, students and the public at large on issues pertaining to Digital and Internet safety including, but not limited to:

The campaign will kick off on September 20, on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube with creative visuals and multimedia graphics on cyber safety and wellness.

Additionally, Assam Police is also planning to conduct workshops and training sessions for Schools and Colleges where experts from Social Media and Digital Media along with Assam Police officials will sensitize young students on Cyber Safety. An added feature of these workshops and training sessions will be self-defense demonstrations, as at times Cyber Stalking is followed by physical stalking.
