Kabataang Digital

In this digital age, personal data protection is everyone’s business. And one critical sector that needs special attention are the youth.  81% of the world’s children start their online presence before they turn 2 years old which makes keeping a secure online environment is becoming a challenge. Due to their vulnerability, they can become easy targets of online threats without proper guidance and knowledge on being a digital citizen.

The Kabataang Digital (KD) Campaign is an advocacy campaign under the Privacy, Safety, Security, and Trust (PSST!) Online of the National Privacy Commission, that promotes safe online environment for the youth. The campaign aims to produce youth who are matalino, mapagmatyag, at mapanuri. It also encourages data protection for children by enjoining school officials and parents in educating their children on appropriate digital citizenship, promoting safe choices, and elaborating the implications of the digital environment for children’s privacy rights.
