Children's privacy and digital literacy across cultures : implications for education and regulation

Author
Organization
Abstract
Taking a child-rights perspective centred on the child’s right to agency and participation, as well as privacy and protection, this chapter is grounded in the voices of children from diverse parts of the world discussing what they know about, and what for, the uses of their personal data. Drawing on a common methodology, researchers studying children’s data literacy in Austria, Belgium, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Palau, Thailand, Tonga, the UK and the USA compare what they have learned. This chapter will draw out the common and culturally specific findings from five empirical projects to document children’s experiences and assess the challenges faced by educators. It is argued that, while children might benefit from educational efforts that treat them as able to construct norms on appropriate data usage and information flows, to try to resolve the privacy paradox by making educators responsible for mitigating the harms resulting from the structural problem of unfair data processing is to misdirect scarce educational resources. Only strong regulation with unambiguous obligations and accountability mechanisms will ensure that children around the world are not subjected to privacy violations and commercial exploitation in a digital age.
