Safer Internet Day event to be webcast from 9 AM to noon on Tuesday Safer Internet Day (SID) has been celebrated in Europe and around the world since 2004. While a few companies and organizations have sponsored Safer Internet Day programs in the U.S. over the years, there has yet to be an officially sanctioned U.S. event supported by a wide coalition of companies, non-profit organizations and government entities, until now. This year ConnectSafely.org, the non-profit Internet safety organization where I serve as co-director, was appointed as the first U.S. host for Safer Internet Day.
