ACMA releases safety guide for mobile chat services
The Australian Communications and Media Authority has released a guide for mobile chat providers on how to make their services safer for children.
Lateral has worked actively with the ACMA on the devlopment of the guidelines. ‘ACMA is the first communications regulator in the world to establish a framework to promote the safety of young people at this early stage in the development of mobile chat services. The measures set out in ACMA’s guide are likely to enhance young people’s enjoyment of new communications services by providing them with an environment that maximises their safety,’ said Nerida O’Loughlin, ACMA General Manager, Industry Outputs Division
The Guide to the Implementation of Safety Measures in Mobile Services recognises the benefits that mobile chat services can bring for communications and social networking, but also provides information on the small but real risk of mobile chat services being used to facilitate illegal contact between children and adults.
