MTV’s athinline.org, a website created to get teens talking and thinking about digital abuse, has just launched a new Facebook application called “Over the Line?” This application invites visitors to share their stories of possible digital abuse and rate other people’s stories to help define the line between innocent and inappropriate. Digital abuse is something we are hearing and learning about more every day and Over the Line? is the online forum to start the conversation about where that digital line falls.

AThinLine.Org has also announced the top 3 finalists of the “Redraw the Line” challenge. This challenge, which kicked off last year, asked youth to submit ideas on how we can use technology to stop and prevent digital abuse. Lots of great ideas were submitted from across the country. The top three finalists have now been selected and it’s up to voters to decide who has the winning idea (and solution) to make a difference. The winner will be funded with up to $75,000 to help develop their project.
Voting ends March 28th so visit the website to make your vote count!
