Canada, the UK and EU are among the countries looking at legislative measures control the availability of and access to online content in order o to protect children against child sexual abuse.
A new report — Privacy and Protection: A children’s rights approach to encryption — from the Child Rights International Network (CRIN) and Defend Digital Me (DDM) shows how encryption protects children. Among the recommendation made, the report recommends that encryption not be banned from the services that children use; and that restrictions on qualified children’s rights such as privacy must be necessary and proportionate, clear and precise, limited to achieving a legitimate goal, and be carrie out in the least intrusive way of doing so.
