On 29 May 2026, the G7 Digital Ministers in Paris reached a first‑time agreement on a shared framework to protect children and young people from online harms. The pact outlines new principles centred on digital literacy, safe use of AI chatbots, and robust online‑safety measures by service providers. It also sets expectations that child safety be built into digital services from the start, underpinned by effective age verification, and calls for closer cooperation between platforms, parents and guardians. The agreement follows the UK’s recent consultation on online‑harms measures such as under‑16 bans and stronger parental controls. Ministers also committed to improved data sharing between platforms, parents and researchers to better understand the impact of digital services on children’s wellbeing.
