Nearly half of teenagers in China often encounter bad information on the Internet. How to do it?

With the rapid development and comprehensive popularization of mobile Internet and smart devices, it is more convenient for teenagers to contact the Internet, and the age of contact with the Internet is showing a trend of younger age. Moderate use of the internet can enrich life and relieve stress, but teenagers lack social experience, and their network literacy and online habits are in the forming stage. How to help teenagers use the Internet healthily and effectively and guide them to actively adapt to the Internet age is an important and urgent issue.

First of all, governments should promote the construction and improvement of relevant legal systems in terms of content, channels, platforms and operations as soon as possible according to the characteristics and development laws of information and communication technologies. Relevant laws and regulations should clearly define the main body responsible for protecting minors' online safety, clear the scope of application and punishment measures, and provide reliable protection for minors' online activities.

Among them, Internet supervision departments should constantly upgrade and update technical supervision methods, guide relevant websites to be equipped with age verification systems or identity verification mechanisms, and establish a rapid reporting and processing mechanism to promptly punish illegal acts that endanger minors' online safety. Internet companies and related industries should conduct self-examination and self-correction, eliminate pornography, violence, vulgarity, gambling, fraud and other bad information content, and purify the Internet environment; All kinds of websites should set a higher default privacy level for the collection, processing and storage of personal data of minors, and protect the information of minors from being illegally collected and used.

Enterprises can take appropriate technical measures to encrypt specific information content according to age, or increase the access age authentication mechanism according to relevant laws and regulations; At the same time, provide concise reporting tools, delete bad information in time, and hand over information suspected of online fraud, trafficking and sexual crimes to public security and relevant law enforcement departments. Enterprises should also support the research and development of parental monitoring tools to help parents interfere with their children's online time, or limit the consumption of certain content and services by minors, or control the people they talk to online.

In the new scientific and technological environment, mastering the skills of using digital tools and having information and media literacy will become the basic survival skills of citizens. Therefore, teaching students how to use the Internet reasonably, legally and moderately is the task that the current education department must shoulder. Teachers should update their knowledge system as soon as possible, teach the basic knowledge of network security and self-protection in relevant classes, and encourage students to actively seek help from teachers and schools when encountering difficulties, so as to become a trustworthy social support force for minors. Teachers should also regularly carry out psychological counseling against cyberbullying to prevent students from participating in cyberbullying or becoming targets of bullying; Once the cyberbullying incident is discovered, the school should intervene and stop it in time and communicate with parents. For serious cyberbullying incidents, you should call the police in time. Primary and secondary schools should gradually set up network security courses and media literacy courses suitable for students of different ages, systematically teach the knowledge and skills of receiving, analyzing, evaluating and creating information, and gradually improve the media security literacy, media interaction literacy, media learning literacy and media cultural literacy of minors.

Faced with the new thing of Internet, parents can no longer rely on their own experience to guide their children like traditional families. Instead, we should first take the initiative to learn relevant network security knowledge, be strict with ourselves, reasonably arrange online time, set an example, and do not browse or spread bad information.

Parents should also actively guide and educate their children to surf the Internet from several aspects: in terms of time, strictly control the total time for children to surf the Internet, set the account password of internet equipment or install software to limit the time for surfing the Internet; In terms of content, help children find healthy and suitable websites, such as regularly checking the websites that children usually browse, evaluating the contents of the websites, or installing parental monitoring tools on the basis of full communication with children; In terms of social interaction, children are encouraged to explore the new world through the Internet, but they are firmly opposed to meeting netizens offline, and are informed of the serious danger of this behavior, so as to grasp the real situation of friends in social accounts at present, and often exchange online experience with children.
