Today’s ease to access and to make available contents is really stimulating, no doubt contributing to bring people closer together, and to make these more knowledgeable in diversified terms. Nevertheless, we know that this reality causes concerns related to undue use of theses potentialities by segments of the population with less critical and/or selection capacity to choose contents suited to their interests.

Aware of this fact, PT has launched initiatives whose goal is to make the population aware of the responsible use of contents, makes available guidelines for the use of parental control devices and software, follows the recommendations on international bodies on this matter and signed a protocol in 2009 with a scientific computing entity to monitor contents and for network security.

PT is also a signatory and founding member of a set of guiding Principles made to ensure greater safety of children and young people when using ICT, made available in January 2012 - "Principles for the Safer Use of Connected Devices and Online Services by Children and Young People in the EU" (download). The company is a full participant of the industry alliance that brought this Principles together, an coalition that gathers players representing all the ICT value chain: service providers, manufacturers, social media, gaming and content suppliers.
