It’s no secret—using the internet can be risky. Simply scrolling through the Snapchat Discover screen can put your child’s privacy at risk. ICT companies collect everything from names and addresses to genders and locations. This can lead to identity theft, child predators, and targeted advertising. And sadly, no adult or child is immune to data dangers. Nepal needs to move from seeing ‘protecting children’ merely as a response to abuse and neglect to one of promoting the safety and wellbeing of children.  There is a demand for a separate law to regulate children’s social media exposure in Nepal.
