"The vast expanse of internet connectivity, online media, social media
platforms, gaming platforms, and new forms and uses of artificial intelligence
(AI) have opened enormous opportunities for commerce and communication.
The sheer convenience and ubiquity of online connectivity have made the
internet a new way of life for nearly everyone in the 21st century. This is
especially the case for children, whose social lives have almost entirely
migrated online.
As my research on digital childhoods demonstrates, this realm of online
communication has also created disturbing opportunities for harms to children.
These harms have concerned politicians, with the government announcing a plan
to impose a minimum age for children accessing social media and gaming
platforms.
As digital natives, children are part of the solution. In a discussion
dominated by adults, my research looks at what kids think about the harms they
experience and how to prevent them."
“Nothing about me without me” should also apply to children.
