Yubo, the social media company aimed at Gen Z users, has announced the launch of an online protection coalition in partnership with the French Association for Standardization (AFNOR). The coalition is aimed at establishing a safer and more secure online environment for minors.
The coalition is open to all interested organizations and aims to establish a unified set of industry standards for the protection of minors online. Yubo and AFNOR have jointly developed a set of recommendations for online child protection, which will form the basis of the coalition’s work.
Yubo’s CEO, Sacha Lazimi, commented on the initiative, saying, “Yubo is committed to the safety and well-being of our users, and we believe that working together with industry partners is the best way to achieve that goal.”
The online protection coalition aims to address issues such as online grooming, cyberbullying, and the sharing of inappropriate content. Members of the coalition will share best practices, provide education and training for industry professionals, and work together to develop new technologies and tools to protect minors online.
Yubo’s partnership with AFNOR is the latest in a series of initiatives aimed at promoting online safety for minors. The company has previously partnered with UNICEF, the UK Safer Internet Centre, and the French National Commission on Informatics and Liberty (CNIL) to promote online safety and best practices.
Yubo’s partnership with AFNOR to launch a coalition for the online protection of minors is a significant step towards a safer and more secure online environment for young people. The coalition’s work will be crucial in establishing a unified set of industry standards for the protection of minors online, and Yubo’s commitment to this initiative highlights the company’s dedication to the safety and well-being of its users.
