Protection of minors is a topic that keep digital businesses awake at night. Legislators and regulators worldwide are moving fast in their effort to ensure online safety for minors. The European Union is not an exception, with its high standards of safety and privacy online. Cyprus, as an EU Member State, is also making steps towards finding an efficient solution to protect children in the digital environment.
