Digital Rights for Children and Teens
Children and teenagers inhabit digital worlds shaped by laws, policies, and platform rules created primarily by adults. Their data is collected before they can consent meaningfully. Their digital footprints may follow them throughout life. Their access to information and expression faces restrictions intended to protect but sometimes constraining. As digital life becomes increasingly central to childhood and adolescence, questions about young people's digital rights demand serious attention.
