  • "Instagram, like many social networks, leaves the user with very little information to exercise their rights or any genuine privacy," the report said. "This exercise makes it clear that the current offering made by websites and apps to their users is not acceptable. Children and young people have the right to know how the relationship between their rights and the rights of the service that they have signed up to use, functions."

  • Common advice for teachers is to be familiar with privacy settings on social-networking sites, perhaps maintain a private and professional account (although this is not permitted on Facebook) and to set a search-engine alert for their own name, so adverse mentions can be detected early and dealt with.
  • So can, or should, a teacher be Facebook friends with a student?

    We, a young, dynamic and public-spirited team of activists at Happiness Ville, are constantly brainstorming ideas and ways to bring about the change we always talk about and hardly put into action. Our aim is to eradicate the 'mal' out of malnutrition, 'ill' out of the illiteracy, 'in' out of the injustice and the 'issues' out of the environment.

  • I think what we're collectively, globally, realizing is that digital citizenship actually brings youth back into the online-safety discussion (if they were ever really there). It's about empowerment as much as protection (yes, it's protective too – see this). So it's more relevant to and respectful of them as active agents for their own, their friends', and their online communities' good.
  • But there still isn't complete consensus on its definition.
  • digital citizenship needs at least to drive the youth-online-safety discussion.

  • Young people will be safer online when they see that they can make a difference online and when their agency is acknowledged, respected, and guided by the adults in their lives.
