G7 leaders and partner countries, including Kenya, Brazil, Egypt, India, and South Korea, have called for stronger protections for children and youth online, urging governments and technology companies to make digital platforms safer, more secure, and age-appropriate.
In a joint declaration adopted on Tuesday, the leaders said children and young people under the age of 18 should be able to benefit from digital technologies in environments that support their education, development, and well-being while protecting them from online harms.
"We acknowledged the positive role digital technologies play in expanding access to education, healthcare, creativity, and social connections," the joint statement read in part.
