“…Adolescent security and confidentiality have long been a point for investigators in the children's and teen's computer interaction research community (Mohammad et al, 2022;Walsh et al, 2022). The theory of the information society "post-industrial society" was developed in 1973, where there is an impact of technological relations newly in modern society and social relations, differently.…”

Cybersecurity for Jordanians’ adolescents/teens has become a complicated phenomenon representing complex socio-technical concerns for the personalities of adolescents in Jordanian society. Recent cyberattacks have had a significant impact on teens in Jordan, both personally and in terms of their quality of life. As such, it is important to develop strategies to increase cybersecurity awareness among teens in Jordan. This research was conducted in both planned and random areas in Jordan, with the aim of understanding the differences in risk-aware cultures and teens’ opinions and activities after introducing cybersecurity awareness in cyberspace. The study was based on 400 responses, and numerous statistical analyses were applied to the responses from each area, including the validity and reliability test, feasibility test of a variable, correlation test, and carried out using SPSS. Moreover, multiple coefficients of determination, hypothesis testing and partial statistical tests were carried out. The research hypotheses indicate that there is a mediation effect of the cyber scale and personal factors (planned/random) with a 76% acceptance rate. This suggests that understanding the significant association between the cyber scale and the quality-of-life scale is important, and that effective cyber-risk management is critical to realizing the importance of cybersecurity awareness. As such, it is recommended that national cybersecurity programs be launched in all sectors in Jordan. Overall, this research highlights the importance of increasing cybersecurity awareness among teens in Jordan. It is essential that teens are educated on the risks associated with cyberattacks, and that effective strategies are developed to protect them from such attacks. By doing so, teens in Jordan can be better equipped to protect themselves and their society from the dangers of cyberattacks.

“…At the school level, it is crucial to present and educate students on digital devices, privacy, personal information, and the digital risks of the 4Cs. Australia’s National Framework Study for Online Safety Education proposed an effective whole-school approach suggesting that online safety education is underpinned by effective whole-school approaches for promoting student wellbeing and preventing student harm [ 49 ].…”

Online Safety for Children and Youth under the 4Cs Framework—A Focus on Digital Policies in Australia, Canada, and the UK

This study analyzes the previous literature on the online safety of children and youth under “the 4Cs risk framework” concerning contact, content, conduct, and contract risks. It then conducts a comparative study of Australia, Canada, and the UK, comparing their institutions, governance, and government-led programs. Relevant research in Childhood Education Studies is insufficient both in quantity and quality. To minimize the four major online risks for children and youth in cyberspace, it is necessary to maintain a regulatory approach to the online exposure of children under the age of 13. Moreover, the global society should respond together to these online risks with “multi-level” policymaking under a “multi-stakeholder approach”. At the international level, multilateral discussion within the OECD and under UN subsidiaries should continue to lead international cooperation. At the domestic level, a special agency in charge of online safety for children and youth should be established in each country, encompassing all relevant stakeholders, including educators and digital firms. At the school and family levels, both parents and teachers need to work together in facilitating digital literacy education, providing proper guidelines for the online activities of children and youth, and helping them to become more satisfied and productive users in the digital era.

“…This global fund is managed by UNICEF, and its budget is proportionately distributed in line with the socio‐economic status and the national user base of k‐VApp in each country. As a result of the taxation, 100 million US dollars are transferred to UNICEF for managing the same project single‐handedly and simultaneously everywhere: raising awareness activities that aim to equip the children with the necessary knowledge to improve their online safety (Patterson et al, 2022; Walsh et al, 2022). Since young people in every corner of the world are exposed to an almost identical online threat landscape, self‐protection recommendations against such cyber menaces rarely diversify.…”

On a global child protection fund financed by international tech companies

Despite admirable in‐house efforts of international tech corporations, the heavy burden of online well‐being is tacitly placed on the shoulders of children and their parents at the moment. In addition, end‐to‐end encryption has almost become an absolute tech industry standard and alternative technical methods to identify child abuse incidents within an end‐to‐end encryption scheme met with privacy concerns such as Apple’s recent attempt on implementing ‘client‐side scanning’ into their phones. As a result, the technical capabilities of such companies to handle online child safety issues will be diminished considerably, and the tech industry will rely on user reporting and metadata analysis more than ever. To complement the current and forthcoming technical measures taken by international tech companies, not to replace them, this article introduces the non‐technical concept of a global child protection fund. This fund would be financed by a small, fixed tax rate on the yearly net corporate earnings of these companies to support capacity‐building programs for online child sexual abuse worldwide, developing countries in particular. The global fund would be managed by UNICEF in close coordination with global and local stakeholders, and it would be proportionately distributed among the beneficiaries in line with the socio‐economic level and the national user base of each tech company. After a brief introduction to corporate social responsibility (CSR) and CSR tax, the article will elaborate on its proposed model with some base assumptions to make it easier for the readers to comprehend the conceptual aspects. Then, it will discuss which substantial challenges it could face in real life and speculate to what extent the ethical and practical foundations of this model could be applied to alleviate the global inequalities in other areas.
