Supporting a multi-stakeholder approach to protect children online
and empowering them as ICT smart users [download
]
The act on secure and safe internet use environment for young users
has two points.
- 1 The basic three principles.
- 1) Minimize chances for minors to be exposed to harmful information
- 2) Enhance minors Internet literacy
- 3) Private initiatives
- 2 Various stakeholders.
To ensure the safe use of the Internet by children, the government has
been hosting lectures on the dark side of the Internet, targeting
parents and teachers in cooperation with the telecommunications
industry. Companies in the industry participate in this activity as part
of their corporate social responsible activities and dispatch their
employees as lecturers.
The government and public organizations provide educational materials on
ICT literacy such as textbooks, websites, and videos. Manufacturers
develop and offer mobile phones for children that may limit available
functions to phone calls, GPS, and anticrime buzzer at the time of
contract.
In order to connect these activities as a whole community, an
organization named the Safer Internet of Japan was established. Its
goal is to link the various private-sector initiatives for the
improvement of the Internet use environment, as an organization where
users, businesses, and educational institutions come together to carry
out their activities on a larger scale and in a more effective manner.
New technology and environment for creativity and communication for all
the children in the world must be a premise of how to deal with harmful
information.

As information technologies evolve at a rapid pace, we may not realize

young adults is a major problem which greatly concerns the government.

Draft Guidelines for Parents, Guardians and Educators on Child Online
Protection
[download
]
Parents, guardians and educators are often referred to as digital
immigrants whereas children and young people are digital natives.
This is a concept that many parents, guardians and educators are all too
familiar with. Todays youth are very technically savvy and they are
able to master complex programs and applications quickly and easily on
both computers and mobile devices and they seem to be able to do this
almost intuitively.
On the other hand, when it comes to computer programs and mobile
devices, adults in general, tend to require an instruction manual for
what most children would say are fairly simple tasks. However, what
adults do bring to the e-safety debate are life skills and experience
and this should not be overlooked.
It is crucial to establish what children and young people know and is
actually doing online as opposed to what adults think that they know and
are doing online.
Parents and educators should become familiar with Internet sites and
have a good understanding on how children spend their time. Its crucial
they are able to decide with their child what is appropriate and safe
while they are online.
In working together parents and educators can reap the many benefits of
ICTs while minimising possible dangers.
