Better Internet for Kids

Moderation means checking and removing content or users that could harm kids’ and teens’ privacy, safety and security, including their overall physical and mental well-being. 

It’s an important tool to protect users and prevent serious risks such as bullying, exposure to harmful content, or grooming (when someone tries to be friends with a child or teen to trick them or make them feel uncomfortable).  

What platforms should do:

	clearly define what is meant by harmful content and behaviours
	use an efficient process to quickly remove harmful or illegal content and accounts
	train moderators to spot threats to children and teenagers, such as grooming or dangerous challenges
	remove illegal or harmful content without delay
	use tools to prevent users from generating or sharing harmful AI content
	regularly review and improve how moderation systems work.

Good moderation helps create a space where kids and teens feel safe, respected and supported – so they can enjoy being online without fear.

Moderation isn’t just about removing content – it’s about building a safer, more respectful online space for everyone.
