Digital technology is omnipresent in young people’s lives (social media, apps, video games, etc.) and comic books play an important role in developing reading habits among teenagers (source: 2023 Junior City and the French Publishers Association study). It’s therefore natural for the CNIL to choose this engaging format to raise awareness among 11-15 year-olds about the issues and risks related to their digital use.
Combining intrigue, humor and education, this first volume entitled The Shadow Network follows the adventures of two investigators from The Privacy Agency, Inaya and Isidore. They try to understand why the names of three high school students—victims of online mishaps and marginalized by their class—appear on a list found in a deliberately burnt down building…
To produce this book, the CNIL drew on the combined talents of Faouzi Boughida, video game scriptwriter, and Grelin, illustrator and comic book author.
It addresses concrete topics: hacking and identity theft, cyberbullying, e-reputation, and cybersecurity. All through a suspenseful story, dynamic artwork and engaging characters.
