FOLLOW YOUTH IGF at IGF 2024

Join the Youth IGF Delagates at the Global Youth Summit for a frank and open exchange between the current generation of experts and the young leaders.

This session will explore one of the most pressing challenges of our time: protecting young people online while safeguarding their rights and freedoms. With the European Union’s Digital Services Act and the priorities outlined in EXECUTIVE VICE-PRESIDENT Henna Virkkunen’s mission letter, dedicated to advancing digital and governance policies, this discussion takes on critical importance. Drawing on insights from recent legislative developments in Australia and ongoing discussions in Canada, we will examine how regulation can address issues like cyberbullying, mental health impacts, and platform accountability.
