The Canada Safety Council's Web site offers an online safety story for children aged 9 to 12, sponsored by Liberty Mutual. Cyberfriends ends with a downloadable game from the Media Awareness Network, Cybersense and Nonsense. The game helps children learn to distinguish between biased, prejudicial information and factual, objective information, and to detect bias and harmful stereotyping in online content. Players are introduced to an accepted online code of conduct ("netiquette"), and to the concept that information isn't necessarily true, just because it's on the Internet.
