Better Internet Campaign 2015: A Better Internet Starts with You!

Can our internet be safe, conducive and welcoming? Can the internet be a place where our conversations are civil and constructive; where people can disagree without being disagreeable; where words are uplifting and encouraging, where people can come together to make the world a better place?

A better internet starts with you. And it starts here.

Highlights of the Better Internet Campaign 2015

The Better Internet Campaign 2015 featured 50 individuals and groups, who in their own way, made a better internet. These individuals exhibited the values of respect, empathy, responsibility and integrity in their online interactions.

As part of Better Internet Campaign 2015, Facebook and MLC launched the Bullying Prevention Hub; a series of practical tips and conversation starters for youths, parents and educators to deal with disagreements for a better internet experience.

The campaign also featured the iZ HERO Challenge20015, an interactive programme that provided young children (6-13 years) with a fun learning space to become independent and responsible digital media users.
