Question Prompt
Review the prompt carefully before you open the timed writing workspace.
Today, children begin leaving a digital footprint from the moment they are born. 'Sharenting' — parents sharing their children's photos and personal information on social media — has become widespread, and educational apps and online platforms collect extensive data from underage users. Some countries have introduced legislation to strengthen the protection of children's data, but the effectiveness of such laws is widely questioned. Why is children's digital privacy increasingly under threat? What roles should parents and governments each play in addressing this situation?
