[ecrea] Observatory report

“Honey, I scared the kids…” The Protection of minors in a converged
media environment

European Audiovisual Observatory releases free IRIS plus report.

A recent EU Kids Online survey found that children from 9 to 16 spend an
average of 88 minutes surfing the internet every day. But given that the
web has distinctly dubious qualities as a babysitter – one may ask “just
who’s taking care of the kids?” Even the new YouTube Kids application,
well intentioned though it may be, has been recently found guilty of
serious bloopers as content including swear words and references to
drugs, violence and suicide was made available to children through this
channel. High time, then, that the European Audiovisual Observatory,
part of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg, brought out a major new
free report, The protection of minors in a converged environment, to
look at the protection mechanisms in place across the various content
delivery channels. Get this free report HERE:

This report is accompanied by an extensive annotated bibliography with
links to all free source material. It can be downloaded here:
