In Europe it is becoming commonplace for children to go online. A study showed that in the EU, nearly all children aged between 9 and 16 use a computer to play games or do their homework. While the internet may play a role in furthering education and development, it also exposes children to risks, through phenomena such as pornography, the exchange of material on violence, or cybercrime, of which parents are usually unaware. By voting in favour of this resolution, I am calling for children to be better protected in the digital world. In particular, I am supportive of the additional technological options that prevent children from accessing age-inappropriate content (parental controls, age verification systems, etc.). I believe it is crucial that children, parents and educators are better informed about the use of new digital media. I also believe better coordination at European level is essential in terms of points of contact, such as hotlines for reporting illegal content or abusive conduct, in addition to greater cooperation with third countries as regards the prompt deletion of web pages containing or disseminating illegal content or behaviour hosted in their territory."@en1
