AG STRANGE ANNOUNCES ONLINE PRIVACY CONSUMER
EDUCATION CAMPAIGN
(MONTGOMERY) – Today, Attorney General Luther Strange announced his
partnership with Facebook and the National Association of Attorneys General in the
Online Privacy Consumer Education Campaign. The campaign will coincide with the
month of June serving as Internet Safety Month.
“Just as we must address bullying, harmful content and other dangers in our
schools and in our neighborhoods, we must address them online,” Attorney General
Strange said. “It is important that we provide the people of Alabama with safe practices
and tools to help protect themselves and their families, especially during internet safety
month.”
Attorney General Strange partnered with Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg to film
a Public Service Announcement that can be found on the Attorney General’s website
and on his Facebook page. “The Internet can’t take the place of a loving family, close
friends, or a happy childhood. But, it can be a positive influence as kids grow up,” said
Attorney General Strange in the PSA. “That’s why we need to make sure the internet is
a safe and secure environment for everyone.”
The Alabama Attorney General’s Office, along with 20 state and territorial
Attorneys General, joined the consumer education campaign focused around safety and
privacy. The campaign created an “Ask the Safety Team” video series and a tip sheet on
privacy which offers advice on how to control your information online.
