Pavni Diwanji, Vice President of the Engineering for kids and families, said in a blog post “For kids to really make the most of the web, we need to provide guidance as they learn to make their own smart decisions online”.

“With school out and summer break giving kids more time to spend on the Internet, it’s a great time to introduce Be Internet Awesome: a new way to encourage digital safety and citizenship”.

This new program contains some awesome feature such as guiding the kids that what information they should share online, how to protect themselves from becoming a victim of some sort of online attacks such as Phishing or Scam attacks.It also includes sections on creating strong passwords.
