The right of the child to freedom of expression 2014, para. 49
Paragraphe
Paragraph text
The result of vague and broad definitions of harmful information, for example in determining how to set Internet filters, can prevent children from gaining access to information that can support them to make informed choices, including honest, objective and age-appropriate information about issues such as sex education and drug use. This may exacerbate rather than diminish children's vulnerability to risks (see more in section VII below, on the Internet).
