How to ensure a rights-respecting digital childhood

This report aims to map the main harmful effects of online life – and particularly social media use – on young people, to create a basis for further discussions about which measures can and should be implemented to reduce these effects.

The report concludes with a number of policy, regulatory, and technical measures that can be implemented to address the harmful effects of online life. We believe that such measures can help pave the way for a safer and healthier internet for everyone, without resorting to invasive or exclusionary measures.
