Among the planned activities are lectures and conversations in schools, meetings with families, teacher training, educational campaigns and demonstrations of privacy and security features. The programming may include guidelines on preserving evidence and forwarding complaints in the face of suspicious situations or digital violence.
The project mentions platforms such as Discord and Roblox among the environments that could be addressed in the actions. The text itself clarifies that these references are exclusively for educational and preventive purposes, without providing for censorship or restrictions on the functioning of the services.
The initiatives may be developed in partnership with schools, universities, guardianship councils, public safety bodies, entities defending the rights of children and adolescents and technology companies. In justification, Dr. Zeca advocates the rapprochement between public authorities, schools and families to face the risks associated with the use of the internet.
The proposal also provides for articulation with municipal programs of digital education and prevention of cybercrime. The inclusion on the agenda indicates the forecast of analysis by the councilors. The documents submitted do not present the result of the vote on Wednesday.
