Organisation: Privacy Salon

Room: Online 3

Timing: 10:30 - 11:45 on 27 January 2021

Youth encounter both risks and opportunities online. In a rapidly evolving digital environment, efforts to defend youth privacy must delicately balance protecting and empowering youth online while allowing them to gradually develop resilience. This panel seeks to convene global youth, technology, and privacy experts to discuss existing and emerging global child privacy protection policies and strategies, key considerations for the public and private sectors, and the need to amplify youth voices in informing and shaping these policies.

• Why do youth warrant special privacy protections?
• How do youth feel about their privacy and what are their self-expressed needs and desires? How can youth voices be amplified in shaping youth privacy protections?
• How is youth privacy being protected globally? (Which ages should receive greater privacy protections, and should the parent or youth "own" those privacy rights? Should consent-based or rights-based legislation protection youth? Should youth privacy protections be included in comprehensive consumer privacy frameworks or are additional youth privacy policies necessary?)
• What youth privacy resources are available for youth, their families, and institutions working on their behalf?
