Ireland's International Obligations under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child: Discussion

Rachel Fleming:
A lot of us probably did not get phones until later than kids do nowadays. Through all of history, I suppose there has been a fad toy. Nowadays there is no such thing; it is just whatever app is on the go, which highlights the big issue. We also need to consider that children cannot consent to anything they are posting. They cannot properly say they want to give their image out to the world like this, and have it there forever.
