Protection of Children from Harmful Internet Content: Case Study-Australia
Abstract
Government and other organizations in Australia have recently expressed concern about the internet. Specifically, this is in regard to the accessibility of content that is illegal or is considered harmful to adults and/ or children. Accordingly Government has responded by enacting legislation to regulate the production, distribution and consumption of such content. This paper reports on the important ethical issue of how to protect children from harmful internet content but also retain the internet as an adult medium. It should inform those of other societies who are or who will need to address this issue.
