Digital Agenda: EU and US sign joint declaration to make the internet safer for kids
European Commission Vice President for the Digital Agenda Neelie Kroes and the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano have today signed a Joint Declaration in London, committing to make the Internet a safer and better place for children.
In the Declaration, Vice President Kroes and Secretary Napolitano:
- commit to contribute to international cooperation in fighting child sexual abuse online in the immediate future. This will build on existing work by the Virtual Global Taskforce and Interpol on law enforcement collaboration to combat child sexual abuse worldwide. International cooperation is essential if we are to be effective in fighting child sexual abuse online.
- acknowledge that parents and guardians need to trust the content and services their children access and commit to continue working with industry and other stakeholders so that parents and children can make informed choices online.

Dear Parent: Our children are our nation's most valuable asset. They represent the bright future of our country and hold our hopes for a better nation. Our children are also the most vulnerable members of society. Protecting our children against the fear of crime and from becoming victims of crime must be a national priority.
Unfortunately the same advances in computer and telecommunication technology that allow our children to reach out to new sources of knowledge and cultural experiences are also leaving them vulnerable to exploitation and harm by computer-sex offenders.

The Network Information Security in Education, 2012 report by the European Network and Information Security Agency outlines the role educators can play in teaching positive and responsible online behaviour to students.
The report stresses the importance of not making assumptions about children’s knowledge on e-Safety issues due to the many misconceptions which exist about appropriate use of the Internet. Issues which educators are likely to be aware of, such as keeping passwords secure and not downloading copyright material, may be viewed quite differently by students. Many teenagers share passwords with each other as a sign of true friendship and many see internet content as public property and download music, videos and images without a thought of the legal issues of copyright.
The report sets out ways educators can help children use technology wisely and safely:

The back-to-school season is responsible for billions of dollars spent on digital devices; laptops, tablets and smartphones are changing the way our children learn, and subsequently, the way they interact with the world around them. Unfortunately, many children fall victim to the negative aspects of technology: cyberbullying, sexting and online predation. While certainly all children won’t encounter these issues, it certainly doesn’t mean they don’t exist, and it isn’t an excuse for you not to be aware. In today’s digitally connected world, one of the best things we can offer our child is our parental, involvement, education and vigilance. While you certainly don’t have to stay ahead of your kids when it comes to knowing about the coolest photo app, it is critically important that you know when they start using it; you have a safety plan in place, and you know what to talk to your kids about as well as have insured that all their digital devices are safety enabled.

Neelie KROES: European Commission...
Protecting children is a priority for all of us. We are all aware of the risks that kids face online; we all want to avoid them; and we all want to do that without losing the many benefits of an open, innovative online world – benefits for the young and old.
So I’m delighted that yesterday we in the EU joined forces with the US. When I personally met US Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to sign a declaration on this important issue.
Did you know, the average EU 9 to 16-year-old spends about an hour and a half each day online? Often they’re doing that from a computer in their bedroom, or from their mobile. And using devices, services, and content from all over the world. All in all, that’s a big change, and a big challenge; but also a big opportunity.
===> Because there’s a chance to build a better Internet for kids. <===

Most of us recognize that schools should be helping students learn how to do deep, rich, technology-infused knowledge work that prepares them for future citizenship, college, work, and other life needs. Many principals and superintendents, however, are struggling to balance the need to technologically empower students with countervailing organizational concerns regarding safety, respectful behavior, and the law. In my conversations with school administrators about Internet safety and student technology usage, I use many of the talking points below.
Use some of them to spark a conversation with your local educators and community.

Keeping kids safe and empowered as they explore the digital world
Kids start using the Internet from the age of 7. Eighty eight minutes is the average time 9-16 year olds spend online. Children need quality content online to stimulate their imagination and help them learn, but they also need the skills and tools for using the Internet safely and responsibly.
============================================
Gust MEES
A very good initiative, though I don't agree with the age of 7! Other reports show age of 3 1/2-4 and I taught my niece already 10 years ago about awareness when she had the age of 4 /12.

In an age when everyone can author or share information to a mass audience almost instantly, it is more critical than ever to develop and sharpen our ability to discern the credible from the implausible things we see online.
There are many purveyors of false or biased information on the Internet – a company seductively advertising the effectiveness of its weight loss product, a politically-motivated organization hoping to persuade you to vote for their cause, a hacker attempting to fool you into clicking on something that infects your computer with malicious software.
Thankfully, among the mounds of information we find online, there is also the credible and the safe. It’s a good habit to have and teach others how to figure out which is which. I believe the skill to do this is made up of 2 basic things: information literacy and information security.

Instead of bruises and cuts, however, your child may be exposed to inappropriate content, online bullying, or malware. One most recent example is the rogue version of the famous Bad Piggies game app, which lures in victims with the promise of a free version of the game. These and other threats are the troubles you will have to make sure your child steers clear away from.
It’s a parent’s responsibility to ensure that wherever their children are, they remain safe, happy and secure. The Internet, in this respect, is no different than any other playground in the park or at school. It looks harmless, even magical at first glance, but could result in some spills and tears if kids are left unsupervised around it.

C’est le message-choc délivré par une vidéo diffusée sur YouTube par la Fédération belge du secteur financier (Febelfin). La mise en scène présente un gourou dans une grande tente blanche qui invite les passants à le rencontrer et à l’écouter délivrer des informations personnelles et privées leur appartenant via un soi-disant exercice de télépathie : numéro de carte bancaire, date et montant de transaction financière via le Web, nom d’un membre de leur famille ou la couleur du balcon de l’individu. En fait, les informations délivrées dans ce clip sont réelles et correspondent à des données publiques mises en ligne par les personnes interrogées.
