The report examines emerging global regulatory trends aimed at creating healthier digital environments for children, families, and society. It highlights how children’s cognitive vulnerabilities and increasing exposure to digital media intensify risks related to harmful content, data exploitation, and algorithmic manipulation.
The analysis compares legislative developments across the EU, UK, US, Canada, Australia, and France, focusing on privacy, online safety, age‑appropriate design, and artificial intelligence. The report concludes that although Europe leads in child‑centered digital regulation, existing frameworks remain insufficient, especially regarding social media’s impact on mental health and the governance of AI.
It identifies five major global policy trends: strengthening privacy protections, improving age‑assurance systems, adopting complementary regulatory tools (such as design codes), empowering parents, and implementing continuous risk‑assessment obligations for platforms. Overall, the report argues for a comprehensive, multi‑layered regulatory approach that integrates privacy, safety, and design to protect children online and shape healthier digital ecosystems for all users.
