John Carr, who is a UK-based expert in child online protection and a member of GRID’s Expert team for our European Edition, has recently launched a personal blog. Entitled ‘Desiderata’, the blog will be a platform for John to post his views on a wide range of topics relating to online safety for children and the digital technologies they use for connectivity, including computers, cell phones and MP3 players, to name but a few.
Desiderata (from the Latin for ‘things you desire or need’) is aimed primarily at parents and those with responsibility for children under the age of eighteen and will mainly discuss issues affecting the UK, although will reference international developments where appropriate.
John’s first post discusses measures currently being discussed by the European Union to block images of child pornography and gives an excellent overview of the workings of the Internet Watch Foundation.
