Episode 14: Satisfying Child Privacy, In Spite of Global Social Media

[Un]Sanctioned Citizen

"He that gives good advice builds with one hand. He that gives good counsel and example builds with both [hands], but he that gives good admonition and bad example builds with one hand and pulls down with the other."
- Francis Bacon
The essential law of moral physics is at work. You cannot say "Let's be private," toward children online when no one in their land of models is prepared to support them with a clear example or enforceable privacy protections in their interests.
US child privacy has a chance to make everyone much more sane. The US Congress now seeks to advance online protections for children under 15 years of age with: parents, families, law enforcement and technology companies using social media platforms.
It is time to get together to defend privacy, but definitely time to defend child privacy despite a pile of obstructions and corrupting influences against the public interest. The good news: parents and children are winning. Since they are winning at privacy, demand for whatever you need from your legislators right now on the terms of protecting your kids in the online privacy environment. It's good for overall privacy as well.
