For years, the safer internet day has been a global day of focus on how to make the world wide web a safer place – especially for children and young adults. On February 11, it was celebrated around the world under the motto of “Together for a better Internet”. A1 also contributes with local initiatives in its various markets and takes responsibility for building awareness and paving the way for a better internet for all of us.
