Abstract
The European Strategy for a Better Internet for Children (BIK Strategy) was submitted by the EU Commission to the Council and the European Parliament in May 2012. Since then, it has formed one of the most important reference points for political decisions in the field of online safety for children and has led to a strengthening of the youth protection perspective in the regulation of digital technologies. The paper takes stock of the impact of the BIK strategy in the Member States and the policy framing of children’s online safety in Europe, and looks at the future of EU plans in this area.
