Chinese Province Bans Parental Online ‘Spying’ September 7, 2010 (1) This month, a new law goes into effect in Chinas’s Chongquing Province banning parents from secretly browsing through their kid’s e-mails, Web chats or online messages. (2) The legislation is the first of it’s kind in China and provides children with the legal right to challenge “spying” parents’ in court. (3) Lu Yulin, a professor at the China Youth University of Political Science, told AsiaOne News that parents who have formed a habit of monitoring the online activity of their children probably wo’nt stop just because of the law. (4) But, he adds that the laws passage is a major step forward for child privacy protection in a country where more than 126 million minors regularly access the Internet. What can children do online? (5) In the U.S., children younger than 13 are barred from providing information about themselves over the Internet without parental permission, thanks to the Childrens’ Online Privacy Protection Act passed in 1998. (6) But, those older than 13 are free to browse the Web as adult’s do, which often concerns their parents’ and teachers’. (7) As a result, many parents monitor their teens online activity. (8) A 2008 survey by the British newspaper The Telegraph found that three out of four parents check up on their children online, and one in four admit to secretly logging into their childs’ social networking page. (9) Parents may have reason to be worried, since the same research shows that a quarter of 8 to 15-year-olds admit having stranger’s as “friends” on social media pages. (10) One in five young people said they had met strangers in person who they had only previously encountered online, and two-thirds included personal information like addresses’ and telephone numbers’ on their profile pages. Cyberbullying is a growing concern (11) Parents’ are also increasingly worried about cyberbullying, when people use communication technologies for deliberate, hostile activities intended to harm other’s. (12) The Cyberbullying Research Center found that victims were almost twice as likely to attempt suicide compared to young people who had’nt been bullied online. (13) Many U.S. state’s have varying degrees of laws against cyberbullying that could result in a bullys’ suspension from school. Even more severe, the bully could have to serve jail time.
