TUD Lectures+ "Child protection vs. participation - How much is right?"

What rights do children have when dealing with online content? How can parents protect their children on platforms such as TikTok? What does it mean when parents share pictures of their children online ("sharenting"), and how should children's wishes be taken into account or should they not be taken into account at all? Does a child have the right to decide for themselves? Where is there a lack of regulation, where is there over-regulation and who should take action? Is this also censoring political content that should not be censored at all? Where should the line be drawn?

This lecture will take a look at the challenges and solutions in practice and in research. Join the discussion, because it's about your experience and your children.

Background to the event series

In 2021, the Directorate University Culture launched the TUD Lectures event series, in which experts from various disciplines at TU Dresden take a close look at current topics. In lectures lasting up to 1½ hours, the experts present their knowledge in a clear and understandable way. The TUD Lectures are aimed at the TUD community and all interested parties.
