5Rights‍

5Rights takes the existing rights of children and young people (under18) and articulates them for the digital world. We believe that they should be supported to access digital technologies creatively, knowledgeably and fearlessly. Intercultural Youth Scotland supports5Rights:

• The right to remove: Every child under 18 has the right to easily edit or delete all content they have created. Under 18s have the right to own content they have created and to have an easily signposted way to retract, correct and dispute online data that refers to them

• The right to know: Children and young people have the right to know who is profiting from their information, what their information is being used for and whether it is being copied, sold or traded
• The right to safety and support: Children and young people should be confident that they will be protected from illegal practices and supported if confronted by upsetting scenarios online
• The right to make informed, conscious choices: children and young people should be empowered to reach into creative places online and also have the capacity and support to easily disengage
• The right to digital literacy: to access knowledge that the internet can deliver, children need to be taught the skills to use and critique digital technologies
