Their goal with each of the councils is to solicit diverse perspectives from teens on the state of life online today, as well as their hopes and ideals for more positive and rewarding experiences. The program will feature monthly calls, project work, and engagement with members of our global Safety Advisory Board and U.S. CDWG. In the first year, selected members will be invited to a Snap office in their respective region for a two-day summit and, in Year Two, they\u2019re planning more public-facing events where council members will share their learnings and perspectives.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>TikTok<\/strong> announced the expansion efforts of their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/transparency\/en-us\/blog-youthcouncil\">Global Youth Council<\/a>, which nearly doubled in size, from 15 to 28 council members.

They are working with OpenID Foundation to develop a technical standard for verifying parental responsibility online, crucial for age-gating and parental consent required by regulations for banks, fintechs, and digital platforms. This standard, complementing ISO 27566, aims to solve legal guardianship verification. To ensure inclusivity, a parallel policy framework, &#8220;Inclusive Digital Parenting: Delegated Authority for All Children including Alternative Care Settings,&#8221; is being developed with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and other stakeholders to support children in alternative care and those acting in loco parentis, enabling them to oversee children&#8217;s online activities and access recourse options under laws like the European Digital Services Act (Article 21) for harmful content. Given the Inspired Internet Pledge\u2019s focus on digital wellbeing, both the technical standard and policy framework are relevant to limiting children&#8217;s exposure to harmful content (e.g., promoting eating disorders, self-harm) and empowering verified guardians to seek redress, making involvement in this collaborative effort valuable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Convenings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>On Safer Internet Day (February 11, 2025), IIP Signatories and Advisors gathered virtually for <em>Guardians of Digital Wellness,<\/em> co-hosted by <strong>Scroll by Choice<\/strong> and the Digital Wellness Lab.
