Protecting Children in the Modern Digital World

The European Union is currently working on a reform of the EU’s Audiovisual Media Services Directive. It was against this backdrop that MEPs debated how to protect children from the dangers of the digital world at a hearing organised by EPP Group Member Anna Maria Corazza Bildt.

She is also the Co-Chair of the first European Parliament Intergroup on Children’s Rights and she said that the debate was a call for action to EU Member States and to industry to do more to help protect and empower children online.
