Parents urged to teach children online privacy like road safety

What happened: A data watchdog survey found that 75% of parents worry their children cannot safely manage personal data online. Experts are calling for parents to educate children about online privacy similarly to road safety.

Why it matters:

  • Children face risks from sharing personal information online without understanding consequences.
  • Parents play a key role in helping children develop safe online habits early on.

MNN Take: With increasing digital use, teaching children about online privacy is becoming as essential as traditional safety lessons to protect their personal information.
