Protecting children, particularly online and on social networks, is a major political issue that must remain a topic of discussion within the European Union. That is why I am delighted that the European Parliament has adopted this resolution on protecting children in the digital world this afternoon. The revolution that is the internet is playing an increasingly important role in most families and parents often find themselves disconcerted by the fact their children are so ‘advanced’ when it comes to technology. In digital terms, children reach the age of majority well before 18 years of age. Young internet users are being exposed at an increasingly young age to dangers in digital form, such as violent games and videos, but even more importantly to the risk of coming into contact with perverts and, possibly, members of child pornography networks. It is, of course, impossible to monitor every internet user, just as it is to ask parents to keep tabs on everything their child looks at on the internet, but we need a holistic approach. Parents, teachers, internet providers, businesses, public authorities and safeguarding agencies need to work together to provide the best possible protection for children, who are particularly vulnerable and exposed to the most serious of abuses on the internet and social networks."@en1
