Yes, never scan your face or send photos of your ID to websites…

My parents never taught me online privacy. Newsround and panaroma did. Scared me senseless

I feel like this was a huge deal when I was growing up in early 2000s. Everyone, kids and adults alike, are so much more blasé about online security now.

I thought that would be a given, surely these parents grew up with MSN messenger and the likes of Faceparty.

“Though of you course, you will have to give over your ID and facial biometrics to random unregulated third parties contracted by these websites when you turn 18. You know, to protect the children”

I’m not entirely sure a lot of parents are teaching road safety, either.

Teach them how to use VPNs and to never give private information away to online websites.

I mean… this should have been pushed 25 years ago and consistently so, rather than trying to legislate and police the internet. Teach your damn kids how to use it responsibly and how to use parental controls.

When you send nudes, crop out your face.
Job done 👍

First you need parents that are internet savvy not what they have been told or how they think it works.
Without that it won’t work kids and more importantly kids friends will tell them how to get round what parents implement

They’d need to understand it themselves first.
The level of ignorance about online safety and IT security in general is mind blowing.

I feel like most parents don’t possess adequate knowledge of this anyway, so how would they hope to succeed?

LOL so these will be the same parents who don’t know how to set up Parental Controls and we now have a dystopian Online ~~Safety~~ Surveillance Act instead. Good luck with that! 😡

They won’t. Despite years of reports in the news and online, many still post pictures of their kids online, in various states of undress if they’re small.
If the parents can’t learn that exposing their small children to predators is wrong, they’ll never learn to teach those small children to keep away from online predators.

how has it taken THIS long to realise this is what we need to do to help keep kids safe online??

Are these the same parents who are supposed to teach their children not to ride their scooters in the middle of the road or cross the road with their hoodies up, headphones on and staring down at their phones?

Kids are turning up to schools without basic skills, I don’t think all the parents are going to do this or even capable to do this.

Don’t fall for RussianChinese propaganda designed to divide us.

Yes, Parents should be teaching the kids various safety / privacy things, but in some cases the parents need to be taught first. People have got so much more blase since social media came in. I’m not sure everyone remembers how to properly stay safe online.

Judging by the number of driving accidents caused by teenagers and young adults I’d say parents don’t teach their kids road safety at all.
