Australia made big steps this week to help protect their teens online. "Delaying teens from accessing social media isn't a substitute for comprehensive online safety laws, but it puts their best interest first - not the wants of tech." @LiannaMcDonald protectchildren.ca/en/press-and-m…

9 adolescents victimes de violence sexuelle sur 10 (86 %) ont été approchés sur les plateformes numériques comme Messenger ou WhatsApp, selon le CCPE. Ces applications de messagerie sont devenues un vrai terrain de chasse pour les cyberprédateurs. Il est temps que le gouvernement agisse pour protéger nos enfants du contenu pornographie en ligne. S-209 fait partie de la solution. Lisez l’article de La Presse et le rapport du CCPE pour comprendre l’urgence d’agir. 9 out of 10 (86%) teens who are victims of sexual violence were approached on digital platforms such as Messenger or WhatsApp, according to the C3P.
