Today, the SX3 and 3Cat platforms premiere a new season of the INFLUENX3R program, in which 15 new contestants aged between 16 and 22 compete to be the best content creator through different proposed challenges.

A jury formed by Albert Roig, Paula Alós and another expert in the field, which will change according to each topic, will be in charge of assessing the strengths and weaknesses of each video presented, and proposing three nominees each time. The ratings will serve to raise awareness regarding security and data protection. The focus will also be on the appearance of elements that do not respect privacy, and will focus on aspects such as asking permission if other people appear, or avoiding showing elements that facilitate identification and location, among others. In addition, young people will also play a leading role in evaluating the videos and 'saving' one of the nominated candidates.

In addition to being a judge, Albert Roig will talk in short funny pills about how to be careful in the digital world and anticipate scares on social networks, with cookies, cyber attacks, the dangers of AI, or the digital trail. ..In this way, in addition to entertaining, the aim is to promote informative content that serves to teach young people how to achieve digital autonomy, emphasizing security and privacy in particular.
