I also intervene in cases related to the issue of cyberstalking, cybermobbing, Revenge Porn, and other forms of online aggression. I also accompany, within public and private schools, teachers and young generations in the acquisition of knowledge in terms of digital literacy, whether it is for media and information literacy, understanding the issues and responsibilities related to digital citizenship, the impact of the collection of personal data, and a responsible use of digital tools and screens.
