Internet Safety Survey: Who Will Protect the Children?

摘要

At this time, education is the best legal avenue to instill a culture of online safety in children. Creating new crimes and deputizing intermediary firms are problematic because they raise constitutional concerns. The SAFE Internet Act is a positive step in the attempt to educate parents and teachers so they can in turn educate children. As children learn about safe Internet practices at home, the benefits are more likely to multiply and grow through peer sharing. Peer education is important because children are more likely to listen to their peers than an authority figure.
