Reaching Out to Schools – Privacy Commissioner Reminds Secondary School Students to Say “No” to Cyberbullying and Doxxing
The Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD) organised a talk at Shatin Pui Ying College on 28 May as part of its School Touring of Anti-doxxing Education Talks. The Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (Privacy Commissioner), Ms Ada CHUNG Lai-ling, explained to more than 170 secondary form four and form five students the new doxxing offences and the importance of protecting and respecting personal data privacy online. The Privacy Commissioner also reminded the students to say “No” to cyberbullying and doxxing.
During the talk, the Privacy Commissioner, Ms Ada CHUNG Lai-ling, said, “The consequences of cyberbullying and doxxing acts can be serious. When you receive a doxxing or cyberbullying message, do not believe or forward the message. You should delete the message or block the sender’s account.” The Privacy Commissioner also reminded the students to handle their personal data carefully in the cyber world, and not to provide their personal data arbitrarily, especially data such as identity card numbers, dates of birth, and bank account numbers, etc.
The PCPD has been organising the School Touring of Anti-doxxing Education Talks since April last year. As of this April, the PCPD has visited 37 schools to convey the messages of combating doxxing and protecting personal data privacy to over 12,600 students.
