iRights - Protecting children's rights in a digital world

There is a new move to protect children's rights online, called iRights. It campaigns for the following rights for children:

1. The right to remove – every child under 18 should be able to easily edit or delete all content they have created themselves.
2. The right to know – every child should know who is holding and profiting from their information.
3.  The right to safety and support – children should be protected from illegal practices, and supported if confronted by upsetting or troubling scenario online.
4. The right to make informed and conscious choices – children should be free to participate with the online world, and to disengage with it at will.
5. The right to digital literacy – children need to be taught the skills to really benefit from the opportunity the digital world offers them.
