New EU Strategy for Online Child Protection: Ensuring a Safer Digital World for Families
The European Commission has launched the “Better Internet for Kids” (BIK+) strategy to enhance age-appropriate digital services, ensuring that children are protected, empowered, and respected online. As digital technology evolves, children increasingly use the internet at younger ages, exposing them to risks like misinformation, cyberbullying, and harmful content. The BIK+ strategy aims to provide accessible, safe, and informative online environments that support children’s welfare and interests.
This strategy is crucial for child safety as it focuses on creating secure digital experiences, combating cyberbullying, and protecting against harmful content. It also emphasises digital literacy and includes initiatives for safer online participation, addressing the needs of children from various backgrounds. By promoting safe and responsible internet use, the strategy supports parents in guiding their children through the digital landscape, ensuring that all children can safely navigate and benefit from the online world.
