Basic Skills for Safe Navigation in the Digital Space

In the fourth episode of the Infodetox podcast, we talk about digital awareness as a basic skill for a modern person. In a world where digital technologies are changing the ways of communication, learning, work, and entertainment, knowledge about safe and conscious use of the digital environment has become critical. Trofim Babich, Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Informatics at the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, advises Ukrainian users to avoid unofficial applications, check permissions, use antiviruses, and two-factor authentication. The conversation also discusses the digital footprint — the totality of data that we leave online. Alina Elevterova, a digital security consultant, explains how to control it: use a VPN, regularly check privacy settings, and delete unnecessary accounts. An important part of the episode is devoted to e-citizenship — the participation of citizens in public life through digital tools.
