ABSTRACT

The responsibility for protecting children in the digital environment is perceived to be that of parents who are provided with multiple guidelines for monitoring children’s screen time and online use. The societal understanding that parents are responsible for supervising– and controlling– their children’s online behaviour is clear. As a result, studies have tended to focus on parents’ digital literacy in relation to these policing and managing responsibilities. A growing body of research, however, has examined parents’ behaviour creating their own digital narratives using personal information and photographs of their children through ‘sharenting’. This paper contrasts parents’ digital literacy as publishers of personal information and narratives with their designated role in policing and managing their children’s media use. Parental power in this context inevitably extends to the control of their children’s privacy, however our study indicates breaches of children’s privacy by ‘sharenting’ practices is frequently not recognised or fully understood by parents.

摘要

在数字环境中保护儿童的责任被认为是父母的责任，他们被提供了用于监控儿童放映时间和在线使用的多种指南。家长负责监督和控制孩子的在线行为的社会认识是明确的。结果，研究倾向于集中在与这些治安和管理责任相关的父母的数字素养上。然而，越来越多的研究调查了父母的行为，即通过“分享”利用个人信息和孩子的照片创建自己的数字叙事。本文将父母作为个人信息和叙述发布者的数字素养与他们在监管和管理孩子的媒体使用中的指定作用进行对比。
