Globe pushes responsible internet use

MANILA, Philippines - Globe Telecom announced that it continues to strengthen its advocacy towards responsible use of the internet through a massive information drive meant to educate users on proper internet use.

Globe partnered with the MLAC Institute for Children and Families to educate parents on how to best guide their children on the proper use of internet and computers. “Because it is our responsibility to provide our subscribers with quality internet services, we are doing all we can to teach our broadband users how to properly use the internet,” Globe fixed broadband business head Jurist Gamban said.

“Through this forum, we are actively involving the parents in guiding their children when they access the World Wide Web. We are concerned about how children are exposed to various internet activities, from downloads, playing games, to watching videos and doing social networking and chatting. Without restrictions, the internet can be a source of information not suited for children, or worse, might pose risks that will threaten their minds and own security,” Gamban added.

Globe has implemented a policy that promotes a more responsible way of using the internet that will ensure fair and optimum usage of its broadband services across all subscribers.
