Older Americans and the Internet

AARP and Google announced today the release of a series of consumer protection videos to help educate older Americans about how to safeguard themselves while using the Internet.

AARP and Google joined together to leverage the power of their brands to help raise awareness about the importance of Internet safety and online privacy. The videos cover subjects including the importance of password safety, using sharing controls, avoiding online shopping threats and “phishing” scams, and knowing and controlling what is posted about you online. The videos were debuted before more than 20,000 AARP members during the association’s annual member event.
