Abstract

Children and young people are often at the forefront of grasping the new and exciting opportunities the Internet can offer such as playing, communicating, experimenting with relationships and identities, learning, creating and expressing themselves. It is estimated that globally one in three of Internet users are under the age of 18. This paper examines how online platforms (Meta, Google, TikTok, etc.) protect children's personal data and how they determine whether consent is given by the correct person and whether the consent can be used as the lawful ground for processing personal data. This paper also observes the role of a parent or guardian in the giving of consent regarding the processing of a child's personal data. The paper will examine questions such as what is the digital age, what is the General Data Protection Regulation regarding the protection of children's personal data and what are the examples of European countries in this regard?
