The Dutch Minister of Justice Mr. Dr. E.M.H. Hirsch Ballin, pictured here on the left, recently launched the Safe Internet campaign. The Dutch are world leaders in Internet surfing. Unfortunately, a minority of malicious people take advantage of this freedom to spam and spread malware. The Ministry of Justice's plan promotes some easy rules of thumb to alert people, stimulate safe use of the Internet and protect people's data. It highlights the following rules of thumb:Update software and turn on your firewall. Always check the web address before your engage in any payment transaction. Handle your personal data with care. Never open electronic files instantly. Be alert to contacts who send in proposals or ask for data. Google and YouTube support this public campaign and have signed up as partners. We share the goal of making the Internet safe, fighting malware and working to maintain online security.

Also YouTube Safety Center allows users to to flag concerns they have regarding uploaded video's and comments, relating to spam and phishing, harmful, dangerous and hateful content.
