European strategy for a better Internet for kids (BIK+)

Relevant News

The Commission has adopted a new strategy to improve age-appropriate digital services and to ensure that every child is protected, empowered and respected online, with no one left behind.

In the past 10 years, digital technologies and the way children use them have changed dramatically. Most children use their smartphones daily and almost twice as much compared to ten years ago. They also use them from a much younger age. Modern devices bring opportunities and benefits, allowing children to interact with others, learn online and be entertained. But these gains are not without risks, such as the dangers of exposure to disinformation, cyberbullying or to harmful and illegal content, from which children need to be sheltered.

The new European strategy for a Better Internet for Kids aims for accessible, age-appropriate and informative online content and services that are in children’s best interests.
