More than 200 people
participated in a public conference in Agboville focused on responsible social
media use and the protection of personal data, organised by the Regional
Council of Agnéby-Tiassa in partnership with the Autorité de Régulation des TIC
(ARTCI).
The conference was organised
under the theme “Youth, Social Networks and Personal Data: responsible uses for
a future” and focused on promoting safer and more responsible digital practices
among young people.
The meeting was moderated by
Isaac Gnamba-Yao, First Vice-President of the Regional Council and a member of
the ARTCI Regulatory Council, who led discussions on good digital practices and
the protection of personal information.
ARTCI deployed a dedicated
team to support the awareness-raising activities, highlighting the risks
associated with the use of social networks and the importance of responsible
engagement with digital technologies.
The discussions provided
participants with guidance on protecting personal information while navigating
social media platforms and other digital services.
ARTCI said the engagement
reflects its commitment to contributing to a safer and better-regulated digital
environment, particularly by equipping young people with the knowledge needed
to protect themselves and use digital platforms responsibly.
