Keeping young people safe online is the responsibility of several parties including, but not limited to companies, policymakers and regulators, parents/caregivers and young people themselves. In this session, we will discuss how we can come together to help young people to better protect their privacy and safety online.
Age verification is only one point. We will also have perspectives from Ireland’s DPA, video games companies, academics, and from Meta on what it is doing in practice in this area.
The panel will discuss whether there is likely to be consensus on steps to achieve substantive improvements, from the privacy perspective, in online experiences for young people in the next two years, recognizing different stages of maturity from young children to those approaching 18 years old.
