Public Policy Update - June 2007

The latest initiatives on data protection and privacy

3. Children’s privacy issues

The Commission has launched a public consultation to identify how to make online and communication technologies safer, particularly for children, so it can decide whether to propose an initiative to follow up the Safer Internet plus programme that ends in 2008. The consultation which focuses on illegal and harmful content, user-generated content and on-line communications ended on 7 June.

Next steps: A draft opinion will be issued in the next month or two and research associations should monitor developments as it could impact children’s research.
