Safer Services
Telenor Group strives to ensure that our products remain tools of opportunity, by working to prevent abuse.
Mobile communications brings more useful services to more people. From staying in touch to reaching out for help during emergency situations, the mobile phone helps keep people safe. Telenor takes measures to ensure a safe experience for its users, helping to ensure that the mobile phone remains a tool for opportunity and not abuse.
Creating a safe experience for youth
Advanced communications tools mean great responsibility for the user as well as the operator, particularly concerning younger users. The Internet offers immense opportunity for children and young adults, but there are also pitfalls and dangers. By working with experienced partners, Telenor communicates with parents, teachers and children about creating a safer mobile phone and Internet experience for everyone.
Helping law enforcement prevent Internet misuse
It is common knowledge that the Internet is used by criminals to distribute illegal images that depict child sexual abuse. That is why Telenor is working with law enforcement to prevent its services from being misused, doing its part in preventing children from becoming victims.
Preventing digital bullying
Mobile phones enable people to instantly share images and other content. As a result, this can often lead to bullying. Responsible use of new technologies is a priority for Telenor, which is why the company empowers parents to understand and act upon the potentially harmful impact of mobile phone usage on their children.
