Risk, Opportunities and Interventions of Youth in the Digital Age

Abstract

While the digital age brings many opportunities for users, it also brings many risks, especially for teenagers. Media platforms collect personal information from users to anticipate their preferences and personalise the most relevant and interesting content. For teenagers, this increases the risk of being exposed to strangers, unhealthy content, hate speech, and false information. For this reason, parental moderation is indispensable, but the reality of parental moderation is difficult. Nevertheless, parents still need to find solutions to protect their children as much as possible.
