The open access edited volume addresses children’s ability to act and their rights in the digital world. The focus is on the position of children as subjects with own rights and developing capacities. Their consideration by parents, jurisdiction and legislators is critically examined. Aspects of digital parenting, especially educational practices and strategies in the context of social media, are analyzed with regard to the tension between protection and participation of children. The edited volume brings debates on privacy and data protection together with those from tort, family and intellectual property law and the role of families and children in regulating the data and digital economy, especially online platforms. Legal reflections from Germany, Portugal, Israel and the U.S.A. are complemented by perspectives from media studies, political science, educational science and sociology of law.weiterlesen
