Telenor’s corporate responsibility report
SAFE INTERNET
The launch of the Child sexual abuse filter was presented at
on official press conference. Chief Executive Officer Stein-
Erik Vellan, the Norwegian Ambassador H. E. Guro Katharina
H. Vikør and the Minister of Interior Yordan Bakalov
Children nowadays start using the Internet
early in their lives. Although the worldwide
web offers unlimited information, it also hides
risks. Whether through a PC or a mobile device,
internet access may expose children to risks of
inappropriate content at any time, if certain
rules are not followed. An open dialog on
virtual reality between parents and kids is of
high importance so we can keep interesting
content within safe bounds. As a responsible
data services provider, Telenor is committed
to delivering the safest possible Internet user
experience. This is why the company was the
first Bulgarian telecom to introduce a filter
for materials of child abuse. The filter restricts
Internet access to a list of domains defined
by INTERPOL. The service is active for every
mobile data user of Telenor and redirects to
a safe page, where the reasons for limited
access are described.
The introduction of this filter and other safe
Internet initiatives were among the topics
discussed at the conference „Corporate
Social Responsibility: Norwegian Values and
Sustainable Business Approach” organized by
Telenor and the Embassy of Norway at the end
of 2014.
