Young Europeans spend an hour and a half a day online, and for teenagers aged 15 to 16, that time rises to two hours a day. My view is that modern information and communication technology (ICT) is of unequivocal benefit to society and that the development of ICT in recent years has opened up many possibilities that previous generations could not dream of. Unfortunately, progress in every sector brings with it many drawbacks and risks, and online services are no exception. However, we must exercise care in distinguishing content. There is a difference between illegal and inappropriate content: inappropriate content may not be illegal and, equally, ‘legal’ may not mean ‘appropriate’. The greatest danger on the internet is during communication between individual users, where dangerous individuals may be hiding behind the high level of anonymity. These problems threaten not just children and young people, but all users. Therefore, I support the motion put forward by Ms Costa, which emphasises the introduction of education about safety in ICT use and about contact with potentially risky content."@en1
