Summary
In the world of Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI), there is always a general concern about the potential intrusion of online privacy, dealing with children. Despite 40% of children in the survey were aware of the online danger, they still adopted low levels of online protection against their privacy and security. Modern parents share photos and news of their children on Instagram and other online social networks on daily basis, which is known as “sharenting” (Minkus et al, 2015; Holiday, 2020; Sarkadi, 2020). In 2018, numerous parents were horrified to discover that their children’s online pictures had been stolen and used on other social media profiles with a different storyline including images of “sweet snaps” of children in disturbing ways (Cambridge, 2018)
