EU Declaration on Digital Rights and Principles: Ensuring Safe Digital Environments for Families
The European Commission has proposed a declaration to the European Parliament and Council that outlines digital rights and principles to guide the EU’s digital transformation. This declaration serves as a reference for citizens, policymakers, and businesses, emphasising the respect for European values and legal frameworks both online and offline. It includes essential rights such as affordable internet access, online safety, and control over personal data. The declaration particularly focuses on protecting children online by ensuring a secure digital environment, promoting digital literacy, and offering seamless access to public services.
This initiative is crucial for children’s online safety, ensuring that illegal activities offline are equally regulated online. It supports parents by providing clear guidelines and fostering a secure digital space for their children. By implementing these principles, the EU aims to create a safer, fairer digital landscape that protects and empowers all its citizens, with special attention to the needs of children and families.
