7 Wednesday Locking the Digital Door - Protecting the Privacy of Children Online - in Partnership with The Cyber Guardian PSH3 14.00-15.15 Ras Al Khaimah Digital life is very public and often kids don’t protect their privacy. What they do online will create digital footprints that wander and persist. All information exchange such as pictures, messages and video done in a certain moment can resurface years later. And if kids aren’t careful, their reputations can get away from them and third parties can access what kids thought was private information. A current area of concern for Child Online Protection is the recent and unforeseen increase of mobile application stores with uncontrolled access, often controlled by non-regulated entities. And the expansion of social networks is exposing children to new vulnerabilities such as inappropriate material, grooming, luring, cyberbullying, harassment and discrimination. Kids may also become addicted to spending time online, with the risks and lost opportunities that this entails.
