Raising  awareness about online harms through comics

Building on the successful series of stories published in 2010 and 2015 as part of a national prevention campaign to highlight the dangers of digital life, the Swiss regulator OFCOM has released 12 new comic strips to address issues such as ‘fake news, sexting, bullying, image rights, the influence of social media, data protection’ and the dependence on smartphones.

Conducted by various Swiss federal agencies, OFCOM and the Swiss Crim Prevention, the comics follow the adventures of the Websters family and aim at promoting awareness among the population and especially young people of risks and dangers related to the daily use of information and communication technologies.
