Information Science Reference Integrating Parental Consent and Child Engagement With Digital Protection Rules

Children s safety on social media and online gaming platforms is a critical issue. Emerging technologies can be leveraged to monitor and mitigate online risks. Currently, however, there is insufficient parental control, inadequate detection of online threats, and a lack of cohesive legal frameworks across regions. However, the lack of standardized practices for parental consent and online safety expose children to increased digital risks. As the sophistication of online threats grows, including hidden agents and cross-border crimes, the need for effective protection measures has never been more urgent. These measures will help ensure that children's digital interactions are safe and protected from exploitation, harassment, and other online dangers. Integrating Parental Consent and Child Engagement With Digital Protection Rules aims to set a global standard for digital safety, particularly for children in social media and online gaming environments. It addresses the critical issue of children's safety on social media and online gaming platforms by integrating parental consent and child engagement with robust digital protection rules. Covering topics such as consent mechanisms, child behavior monitoring, and media narratives, this book is an excellent resource for policymakers, technology developers, parents, educators, law enforcement practitioners, researchers, professionals, scholars, academicians, and more.
