As part of the “Ethics and Volunteer Work” course, the Deanship of Student Affairs organized an awareness lecture titled “Cybercrimes,” delivered by Ali Al-Salibi from the Justice Center for Legal Aid.

Dean of Student Affairs, Dr. Ahmad Abu Dalou, stated that holding such lectures reflects the Deanship’s and the University’s commitment to raising students’ awareness of important societal issues. He explained that the Deanship seeks to use the “Ethics and Volunteer Work” course to enrich students’ legal knowledge and educate them on the importance of protecting themselves from legal accountability, particularly in matters such as cybercrimes, given the limitless spread of technology and the widespread use of social media.

For his part, Al-Salibi addressed the concept and nature of cybercrimes, as well as the laws and regulations governing them, calling on students to commit to the positive and responsible use of the internet and social media, while avoiding harm to others.

He warned against using social media platforms as tools for blackmail or threats, or for exploiting others’ personal information, as well as spreading rumors and misleading news. He urged students to remain cautious and not fall victim to such practices.
