Get safe online
Oh good! Another UK government website to add to the 3,500+ already in existence (not an exaggeration): Get Safe Online. Just what the doctor/citizen ordered. For the moment, it’s merely a single inaccessible webpage, but I’m sure that over time, it will become a complete inaccessible site.
How on earth can the government think that adding to the maze that’s already out there is a good idea? Surely it should be consolidating its already diluted government brands, à la Canada. Please, use sub-domains, maximise the power of the brands that are already out there, and stop the madness.
The idea’s not a bad one, but isn’t there some overlap with IT Safe, which I posted about only eight months ago? It’s important that people are informed by a reputable, independent source (government?) about how to operate in the online world, and what to be looking out for. At the moment though, the various parties that are trying to do this are doing so very badly.
