A new report released by the Point Smart, Click Safe task force provides a multitude of recommendations for “best practices” for online child safety.
While the task force is comprised of many competitors which are typically at odds with each other on various industry issues, it seems they have found common ground regarding the safety of children on the Internet.
As the task force’s website states:
“It is significant that this group discussing best practices is composed not only of members of the “Internet industry” – including Internet providers, content providers and other technology companies – who will be responsible for implementing best practices, but also includes the perspectives of other key groups concerned with online safety, including child advocates, educators and representatives of parents groups and public health communities. All of these stakeholders have a shared responsibility for children’s online safety and can support the effective implementation of best practices.”
MCA agrees. All of these companies should be applauded for their efforts on protecting children online.
