🛡️ Protecting the people who protect public data.

100+ field & office staff at Alayadiwembu Divisional Secretariat walked away with sharper digital security awareness, threats, scams & why govt institutions are high-value targets.

Led by certified digizen ToT trainers: Mohammed Akeel, Mursith Mohammathu & Aathambawa Mujahith.

Made possible with Asia Centre & Google. Building a safer digital Sri Lanka, one institution at a time. 💪

Proud to see digital security awareness reaching the people who handle public data every day. 🛡️ When government staff are trained, the whole community is safer. Big things happening in Sri Lanka!

Zambia cancelled RightsCon days before it began, stranding 2,000+ delegates. Official reason: security protocols. Real reason: the conference would expose how cybersecurity laws silence journalists. This isn’t a delay—it’s suppression. Cancelling won’t erase the issues. It makes the conversation louder.

And what about X (formerly Twitter)?

Since Musk took over, studies show X now has a higher concentration of misinformation than Facebook, just lower total volume due to a smaller user base.

Facebook still "wins" for overall harm, but TikTok is the most concerning rising threat.

Moderation matters. Algorithms amplify. And platform design isn't neutral.

Your clicks, likes, location, interests, all of it can be tracked, analyzed, and even sold for ads. That’s how many “free” apps really make money.

So next time you download one, ask: what am I paying with?

If it’s free… you’re the product.

Stay aware.
