Pursuant to the Studer law* adopted in March 2022, a decree should now make the default installation of a new parental control system on all phones and tablets. The said law provides that “terminal equipment intended for the use of online public communication services giving access to services and content likely to harm the physical, mental or moral development of minors are equipped with a device easily accessible and understandable allowing their users to restrict or control the access of such persons to such services and content”.
Invited by the Secretary of State for Childhood Charlotte Caubel to take part in a meeting to launch a public consultation on this subject, the e-Childhood Association recalled in various media the need that parents have no more fears to seize this subject and talk regarding it with their children.
« The idea is that it is easy, fast and understandable and that everyone can use it unlike what already existed explains Justine Atlan, director of the Association in Le Parisien/Today in France.
And for the president of the Béatrice Copper-Royer Association, psychologist and specialist in childhood and adolescence: “ You have to be loyal with them (editor’s note children). This tool can be complementary with a good digital education. Install this tool with your child but without showing him your password. Tell him it’s not not to cop him but to protect him “, she advises.
« What remains important is the dialogue. Today, too many parents have the impression that they have nothing to teach their child. But itIt’s not because they handle the mouse well that they know everything. They are children! she continues.
