[Chapter-delegates] DC Webinar: IGF DC on Children's Rights in the Digital Environment: To ban or not to Ban?

[Glenn McKnight]

With the enforcement of a social media age ban for under 16s in Australia
in December 2025 a global discussion started on the important topic how
children and youth can participate safely in the digital environment and
what measures are necessary to protect them meaningfully when being online.
>From Brasil to India, in the UK and the EU, in many parts of the world
politicians, civil society, psychologists, and media researchers argue
about strategies, legislation and accountabilities. These affect also digital
services providers, educators and carers as well as parents and children.
In this webinar we will hear from Amanda Third on the current situation in
Australia and the learnings from a ban being in force for half a year now,
get a child rights framing by Sonia Livingstone and get insights in the
work of the EU Special Panel and hear from the recommendations of the
German expert panel and the outcomes of a child participation process by
Jutta Croll and Torsten Krause.
