Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have transformed modern lifestyles. They have provided us with real-time communications, borderless and almost unlimited access to information and a wide range of innovative services. At the same time, they have also created new opportunities for exploitation and abuse. Without proper safeguards, children and young people – among the heaviest users of the Internet – are at risk of unwanted sexual solicitations, harassment, and unwanted exposure to violent, sexual and other distressing material.
