Regulating Child Internet Access
Category: Moral Decency | Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Alkzine | Onsite Topic​

The World Assembly,

AWARE OF the prevalence of harmful and extreme content on the Internet,

WHOLEHEARTEDLY COMMITTED to protecting the innocence of all children,

PARTICULARLY CONCERNED at the risk of children being exposed to pornography, sexualised content and extreme violence,

UNSETTLED BY the growing prevalence of internet addiction and unhealthy internet habits amongst children,

BELIEVING that childhood is best experienced with as little screen time as realistically possible,

Hereby mandates:

• [*]Any device owned or used primarily by a child must be installed with an adequate filter that blocks sexually explicit and shockingly violent content.
  [*]Online companies hosting or providing sexually explicit or shockingly violent content have a legal responsibility to prevent children from viewing this content.
  [*]Schools should, to the best of their ability, educate children on the dangers of the internet.
  [*]The precise definition of ‘child’ in regards to this legislation is to be delineated on an individual basis by each nation.
