“…online opportunities and risks go hand in hand: the
more children and young people experience the one, the
more they also experience the other, and vice-versa.”

Myth: Young people are digital natives,
or digitally naive
“...the tendency to pigeonhole young people into
one category or the other prevents us from
developing a deeper understanding of diverse
youth experiences of networked media, and how
individuals can have different experiences at
different times and in different spaces.”

Myth: Young people don’t care about privacy
“ ...if we were given more of a knowledge of what
privacy is and how we can protect ourselves, youth
would be more personally invested in action.”

Myth: Social media is addictive
“The Internet is all your favourite things in one
place. When your favourite things change you just
add another thing. It's not addiction, just having a
really fun time kind of thing. Having all your
favourite things in one place. Who wouldn't want
Dan Skipper to be on that?”

Myth: The Internet is a free, anarchic
playground
“The myth is that young people think the Internet
is all free. It's all open and whatever you do, it does
not yield any negative consequences... The opposite
is actually the truth...
Max Kall
Many fear the Internet is under surveillance which
leads to serious chilling effects or freedom of
expression and democratic participation. ”
