Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Cybersecurity for Children and Young Adults: Discussion (Resumed)

9:30 am

Ms Jody Whelan:

I am not sure if everybody is aware, but on YouTube and Netflix, on which kids may watch educational videos, there is the facility of a parental lock. Netflix has a kids' section out of which they cannot get. It is the same on YouTube. If people were more aware of the parental lock facility, it would help.
