I'm in Sydney as a panellist for the joint NSW-SA Social Media Summit where I'm advocating fiercely for the protection of children online. Doing nothing to protect children in the digital age is not an option. Watch the Day 1 livestream here: https://t.co/8vXXcjlaXp

The landmark privacy legislation introduced today in the Australian parliament is an important step in giving every Australian stronger protections online, and outlaws doxxing. Brilliant that includes the development of a Children's Online Privacy Code and funding to create it.

Morning! My piece in @TheAge today. There’s no way around it, we need to talk to our kids about porn https://t.co/PjCT8kfUo0 #childsafety

[Chloe Shorten @chloeshorten]

Bit excited! Response to Privacy Act Review will be a huge win for children (and their parents!)

[eSafety Commissioner @eSafetyOffice]

New analysis shows 1 in 8 instances of child sexual abuse material reported to eSafety investigators was 'self-generated'. Perpetrators are coercing children to perform explicit acts via a webcam or smartphone, even in the safety of the home: https://t.co/ju9jTTVWWq #NCPW23

Confronting but vital. This is what happens when we don't take #childprivacy seriously. #childrights #childsafety @C4DWellbeing @CommonSense

Hi Tweethearts 💕For parents, grandparents, foster carers...What tech companies know about your kids.Thanks @veronicabarassi https://t.co/GNVbYthvvc via @TEDTalks

[Chloe Shorten @chloeshorten]

No parent wants their child's transgressions or worse, a fake porn video, to go viral, when it's impossible to erase.
Let's demand our kids safety online.

We are living in the digital age where children are the crash test dummies and parents are the dumbstruck bystanders. | OPINION by Chloe Shorten https://t.co/zx2pSqf7oc

[Chloe Shorten @chloeshorten]

So the kids can access anything and anyone can access the kids...? https://t.co/H9lPDwZrp3

[Chloe Shorten @chloeshorten]

There is no legit reason we can't improve online safety for kids. Privacy is key to safety.

Much better than a porn trained/damaged generation. https://t.co/OSnnQzPzVQ via @ConversationEDU #childsafety

[Chloe Shorten @chloeshorten]

We CAN protect kids from porn but no-one can really explain why we aren't. It's time we asked ourselves why we don't act. https://t.co/nElBfm5Eo5 thanks to @Rachel_deSouza @AnneHollonds @MareeCrabbe @ActforKids @HigginsDaryl

"We need children not to be able to access porn."

Children's Commissioner Dame Rachel de Souza tells @JustinOnWeb that social media sites are often the first place where teenagers access pornography.

COPPA 2.0 has been re-introduced by Senators Markey & Cassidy. One of the many things it calls for is prohibiting internet companies from collecting personal information from users who are 13 to 16 years old without their consent. https://t.co/Q7Fm1It7BE #COPPA #Childrensprivacy
