CRA Committed To Consumer Protection And Safe Digital Engagement

(MENAFN- Gulf Times) The Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA) has reaffirmed its commitment to protecting consumers and promoting safe digital engagement across Qatar, while continuing its efforts to foster a digitally aware generation capable of making informed decisions in an increasingly connected world.

The CRA participated in Phase Two of the“Safe Surfing” Initiative under the“My Values Shape My Identity” project, implemented by the Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MoEHE), delivering 13 workshops to 879 middle and high school students across 12 private schools in Qatar.

Conducted both in-person and online under the title of“How to Stay Safe Online”, the workshops aimed to enhance students' awareness of digital risks associated with everyday Internet use.

The sessions covered key topics, including cyberbullying, identity theft, phishing and online fraud, exposure to harmful content, privacy risks, dangerous online challenges, and emerging concerns related to artificial intelligence (AI).

CRA experts provided practical guidance on preventative measures, such as activating security settings, safeguarding personal information, and seeking support from parents or trusted adults when facing online threats.

“Our participation in the 'Safe Surfing' Initiative reflects the CRA's ongoing commitment to protecting young users and promoting a culture of safe and responsible digital engagement,” said the director of the CRA's Consumer Affairs Department, Amel Salem al-Hanawi.
