Digital Privacy Risks explores the growing threats to children's online privacy in an age where digital engagement is constant. It highlights how social media, mobile apps, and the internet collect and use young users' data, often without adequate protection.
The book emphasizes that current legal safeguards, such as COPPA and GDPR, may not fully address the unique vulnerabilities of youth, potentially exposing them to online exploitation, identity theft, and reputational harm.
The book examines the history of online privacy regulations, contrasting early laws with today's advanced data collection technologies. It argues for proactive measures to enhance digital safety, providing practical strategies for parents, educators, and policymakers.
Beginning with core concepts of digital privacy and data security, the book progresses through an analysis of data collection methods, a scrutiny of relevant legislation, and a discussion of practical strategies for promoting responsible online behavior.
By integrating insights from cybersecurity reports, legal analyses, and studies on children's online behavior, Digital Privacy Risks offers a multifaceted approach to understanding and mitigating digital risks. It connects technical insights with legal analysis and practical guidance, offering a holistic perspective on youth online safety, data security, and the importance of protecting children in an ever-evolving digital landscape.
