Link to be included: “Guidelines to respect, protect and fulfil the rights of the child in the digital environment: https://www.childrens-rights.digital/hintergrund/index.cfm/topic.280/key.1568

The 3rd message agreed upon is the session needs to be added a follows:

Digital literacy is important in all age groups – children themselves, teachers, parents. It is necessary to understand the children’s needs in order to conceptualise in line with their needs and in line with complexity and interests of the digital world. A balanced approach is needed in order to make children more resilient, but the industry and data controllers must be held accountable as well.

To Michael Oghia: We use the term children in the sense of the UN Convention on the Rights of the child meaning young persons up to the age of 18.

This is a message from the YouthDIG brought into the session, the message was adopted slightly different as follows:

We want an algorithm built in a multistakeholder environment: SAPA (Smart Active Participation Algorithm). The purpose of this algorithm is to replace some of the ads we are exposed to while browsing on the Internet with information about youth participation initiatives. SAPA will suggest differentiated opportunities based on the age of the users, in order to empower the engagement of people of all ages towards participation initiatives through the Internet.

We also mentioned the role of self-certification, and the “establishment of global good practice” to which suppliers should live up to.

Open door.

And if you want to keep thi sparagraph, maybe limit it to “Policymakers need to develop long-term strategies to address existing challenges, such as but not limited to, inequalities, the digital divide, and the impact of digitalisation on jobs.”

And at “upcoming/future” challenges. If policymakers only focus on what exists today they will also be running behind!

THis should be the third paragraph

1 – insert: In this time of rapid evolution of technologies and market uptake, regulation cannot keep up with the pace of change.

Make this the second paragraph – this is the key message.

[, ]

being informed by standards, labels, and self-certification that is enforced by third parties

[certifications ]

standaridsation setting processes and lengthy and expensive certifications
