Is the internet good for children?
DFC public event for Universal Children’s Day
Speaker: Prof Sonia Livingstone
Chair: Prof Ellen Helsper
Public anxiety about children’s digital lives and wellbeing is reaching a fever pitch, marking a notable turnaround from the decades-long efforts to ensure children are fully digitally included, literate and empowered. While arguments rage over what’s wrong with ‘screen time,’ ‘online harms,’ and data-driven forms of exploitation, this lecture hosted by the Digital Futures for Children centre will make the case for a rights-based approach that puts children’s needs at the forefront of the design and deployment of digital services.
