Within the framework of the SIC-SPAIN 3.0 initiative, led by the Cybersecurity Institute (INCIBE), FCCOM professors and researchers Esther Martínez Pastor and Ricardo Vizcaíno Pérez are developing two research projects.
First of all, Martínez Pastor, a professor in the area of advertising, is currently directing a project on self-harm on social networks. "We want to show that this problem exists and we have produced a guide for parents and schools." For this, they are carrying out the analysis of hundreds of videos from Tik Tok, among other social networks.
For his part, Professor Ricardo Vizcaíno Pérez and his team are developing a project that analyzes the clarity of the information on the pages intended for minors, testing different websites in order to obtain more adapted information.
The SIC-SPAIN 3.0 project is led by the Cybersecurity Institute (INCIBE), under the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation and aims to continue, expand and reinforce the actions of the Internet Safety Center for Minors, Internet Segura For Kids (IS4K). In addition to the URJC, 13 other public and private entities participate in it.
Professors Martínez Pastor and Vizcaíno Pérez already participated in the 2.0 edition with an exhaustive analysis of how 'youtuber' children promoted different eating habits that gave rise to a guide that can be consulted at this link.
