「作為一位母親，端到端加密讓我感覺很有力量，因為它讓我能夠選擇如何分享我孩子的資訊。」 ——潔西卡·狄金森·古德曼，舊金山灣區互聯網協會董事會主席 在當今世界，隨著我們的私人數據越來越容易受到網絡威脅和安全漏洞的攻擊，保護兒童的個人資訊變得至關重要。 加密技術賦予家長權力，使他們能夠選擇如何分享孩子的資訊。 當家長與朋友或家人分享孩子的照片時，加密技術可以確保照片只傳送給他們想要的對象。這讓家長能夠保護孩子的隱私，幫助他們在數位生活中安全導航。 如今，孩子們比以往任何時候都更多地上網並保持聯繫，無論是用於學習、與朋友社交，還是與家人溝通。加密技術如同一道保護屏障，讓孩子們能夠在安全的環境中分享、探索和學習。 在這個全球加密日——以及每一天——我們都倡導保護這項至關重要的安全工具。繼續觀看以瞭解更多內容，並聆聽我們舊金山灣區分會董事會主席潔西卡·狄金森·古德曼的分享。 Whatch how encryption keeps children safe
