With the exponential growth of applications, and online services, many parents are faced with difficult questions about the safety and well-being of their children. The main concern is how to ensure that young people be able to sail in a safe environment, and convenient online? The Meta has just been published to the idea of it, for that matter, with projects that aim to simplify the lives of parents by providing them with the tools and resources to manage, the better the interaction of the child with the world of digital.
An essential aspect of this discussion is the difficulty to increase the monitoring of the activities of online adolescents, according to the company's Facebook. According to the studies in the past, people use an average of at least 40 different applications each week, a number that continues to grow. This is the scenario that makes it almost impossible for parents to keep track of the apps that they use for their children, and the interactions that take place on these platforms. Here enters the game of the need for co-operation between the companies in the technology and policy-makers to develop effective solutions, and to be simple and to support parents in their mission to protect their children.
The proposal of a Meta-s, for the greater security of the online
The services of the Metës is already implementing measures to ensure the online, appropriate for their age. An example of the calculations are in both the lançuara on Instagram, which can provide protection to be integrated, and require the express consent of their parents to change some of the settings. These measures restrict who can contact you-users on the new content, that you may see, and are intended to filter the comments offensive. However, in spite of these initiatives, and policies vary widely from application to application and from one country to another, forming a ring-ring of the fragmented regulatory framework, which does not provide protection for the uniform.
There is a clear need for a new regulation on the level of the European Union, according to the company, which sets the standard for clear and consistent on the protection of the teens on the internet. This regulation shall be based on the fundamental principles as well as verification of age and to adopt the parental level of the operating system, or to store application. When a teenager wants to download an application, the operating system shall provide automatically to the parents, allowing them to decide whether to approve or not the discharge, similar to what is going on in the purchases through the app.
A systematic approach can simplify a lot the process of adopting parent, thus avoiding the need to share sensitive information with multiple applications. Moreover, it would be essential to put in place standards of the joint in relation to the content appropriate for their age, in order that their parents can have confidence in the platforms used by children on their own. The issue of the protection of children has been at the center of the political debate in Europe for more than a decade ago: they were introduced a number of laws and directives, as well as the Services of the Digital and the General Regulation on the Protection of the Data. However, none of these initiatives did not provide a comprehensive solutions for the verification of the age, and the creation of the experience of a safe, secure and convenient online on the young people.
