".
Young Europeans spend up to 40 hours a week in front of the television. They are online 88 minutes a day, starting on average at 9 years of age, but in some cases even before they start schooling and reading. The first issue to address is still that of the digital divide which in the current economic situation threatens all the least protected groups, including minors, with a negative impact on their economic, social and cultural future. This report addresses, in a comprehensive overview, an issue which, in just a few years, has profoundly changed the life of minors in the European Union. Harmful online content, with strong connotations of violence, discrimination, sexism, racism, with features that are such as to be unsuitable for minors, can diminish, in unprepared users, the perception of the offence to human dignity and facilitate among minors the use of the internet with intentions that are more or less knowingly harmful of their personal dignity and that of others. I think it is essential for Member States to agree to protect minors in the digital world also by promoting complete mastery of its forms, which is essential for full and active citizenship, to offer European citizens the chance of benefitting from the cultural and economic dimension of all types of media connected to digital technology and to contribute to the realisation of the Lisbon goals, favouring the emergence of a knowledge-based economy and stimulating competition."@en1
