Internet Child Protection Regulation and Children’s Media(ted) Rights: A Genealogical Account

Abstract | Word Stems | Keywords | Association | Citation | Get this Document | Similar Titles



Abstract:

The paper considers three contemporary diagrams of the child:

a) the discourse of children’s rights as framed in the UN ‘Convention on the Rights of the Child’ and most recently in the European Commission’s ‘Toward an EU Strategy on the Rights of the Child’;

b) notions of the ‘child in need of protection’ as constructed in internet regulatory discourse (at national, regional and international levels);

c) the deeply troubling cases of youth innovation regarding ‘peer-to-peer pornography’ (e.g. internet dating in Japan, picture posting and swapping in the UK, and the case of Justin Berry in the US).

These diagrams will be discussed and understood in the context of an attempt to provide a theoretical understanding of children’s media rights and a focal point for re-imagining the question of accountability in internet child protection regulatory discourse and practice.

A key issue running through the paper concerns the often wide discrepancy between regulation on behalf of children and young peoples’ experiential voices and practices. To foreground such a gap – a representational schism – is not to move to an ‘apologist discourse’ that suggests that young people might be ‘complicit in their own victimization’. Such a move would certainly be worrying and of major concern. On the contrary, it is taken as an ethico-political demand to take seriously not only accounts of children’s agency, but also their labour, or productivity, in contemporary internet child protection regulation.
