I have been advocating for years for strong legislation to protect our children while they are online. I have watched, flabbergasted, while children’s rights are denied in the online world.
We have such stringent rights for children in real life, yet we do nothing when their rights are undermined online for the profit of internet companies. And the profits are astronomically large.
