What is a Thunderclap?

Thunderclap is a crowdspeaking platform where people donate their social reach for a cause they believe in. Social media is very fast moving and tweets and posts can often get lost. To help achieve maximum impact, Thunderclap schedules the same message across Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr from everyone who signs up at exactly the same time.

The Safer Internet Day Thunderclap will go on at 8:30 am on 7th February and will kickstart a day of trending!

Last year the Safer Internet Day Thunderclap reached 4 million people. We want this year to be even bigger. The Thunderclap is crucial to help raise awareness about making the internet a better place for all. Help gather more supporters by sharing the following message on your social media!
