Technical child protection on the internet

Although promoting media literacy among young users is the top priority, the use of technical measures on the digital devices of younger children can be helpful. The range of technical child protection measures is vast, and they typically combine various functions to keep inappropriate content away from minors. This usually involves setting usage times, filtering content, and blocking certain applications. The brochure "Technical child protection on the internet" provides an overview of the different functions and practical tips for setting up safety precautions on young people's digital devices. 

Attention: examples and products are researched for the Austrian market.
