Internet & Children

From the Paper:

"With the ever-expanding role of the internet in children's lives, and younger and younger children gaining internet access, there is a need for control of their access to unsafe sites. Studies suggest nearly two-thirds of children now use the internet, which has presented some problems for both internet providers and lawmakers alike (Hertzel, 2000). Some form of control, either in the form of something akin to the television V-chip to limit children=s access to certain sites, or some form of regulation on how much information about a child can be collected over the internet by the various websites is needed. Despite passage by Congress of the Child Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and internet tools to restrict access to various sites, there is still concern over the issue of child safety on the internet."
