The European Union's Better Internet for Kids (BIK+) strategy, adopted on May 11, 2022,, is a comprehensive initiative aimed at creating a safer and more empowering online environment for children and young people. Here are some key points about EU BIK:
Safety. Children have the right to a safe digital world. A new strategy is in place to protect them from harmful and illegal online content, conduct, and risks. The focus is on creating a safe, age-appropriate digital environment to enhance kids' well-being.
Accessibility. It means kids learn the skills and knowledge to make informed choices and express themselves safely and responsibly online.
Communication. Children are encouraged to actively participate in the digital environment and have a say. Child-led activities promote creative and safe digital experiences, respecting their voices and well-being.
The strategy includes plans for developing standard age assurance and verification methods in Europe, supporting rapid assessment of illegal and harmful content, and ensuring help for cyberbullying victims
