Those who have been following us for a long time know that as well as proposing ethical alternatives we also occasionally take care of publicizing, as far as possible, some events and projects that we believe need it. For example, some time ago we talked about web revolt against large companies to convince them to abandon oil, the campaign was called Big Tech Loves Big Oil. #socialyesidiot it is a campaign aimed at raising people's awareness, and consequently also our governments, to educate young people in the use of new technologies without demonizing them.
We immediately leave you the cartoons, created byartist Zughy and central part of this campaign. We invite you to share them with whoever and where you deem most appropriate. A website called socialsicretinino.net where you will find, in addition to the cartoons, an interesting article and a presentation of the campaign.
On the site you can also find a file to download with the cartoons inside to share them!
Educate, don't prohibit
In our opinion, the cartoons are exceptional and summarize the thoughts of the article well. The concept of the campaign is to try to make people understand how wrong it is to try to identify or even authenticate minors on the web using more or less abstruse methods. The problem is not the authentication of minors, the problem is the lack of digital education.
Boys, precisely, are not idiots. And they are much smarter than the rulers who instead want simple solutions, such as authentication, to easily wash their hands of it.
We have actively participated and support this campaign because we believe that words are important and why we think that digital education is the basis of everything. Also TheAlternativesOn closer inspection, it is nothing more than a way to learn to know and recognize the risks of the web together.
Finally, cartoons seem to us to be a simple, immediate and effective method for telling something.
The idea is therefore to share the hashtag on social media #socialsicretinin to let us know what you think and to try to get the message as far as possible!
