"Ninety per cent of 9-16 year-olds connect to the internet at least once a week. Poorly informed of the risks, especially those linked to child pornography, and with scant appreciation of considerations of confidentiality, they are the most vulnerable sector of society in this respect and therefore the most in need of protection. It is the duty of the Member States and the EU to do all they can to protect children and young people effectively against the dangers of the digital world. Contrary to received wisdom, the latter is not a virtual world without risks or consequences. Regulation of online content, enhanced identification of illegal content, cooperation between police and judicial authorities in the Member States and with third States are actions that must be carried out rapidly. Finally, age verification systems at the entry to sites must be created to prevent children accessing any inappropriate content. The proposals in my report on the protection of minors also need to be implemented urgently: the creation of a ‘.kid’ domain name, to be reserved for content for children and regularly monitored by an independent authority; awareness-raising campaigns; distribution of information kits showing how to surf safely, protect oneself using filtering systems, make a complaint or report harmful content via a hotline; and the training of teachers and trainers."@en1
