When I attended Harvard Law School's Technical Task Force meeting last September 2008, I was so excited that the world was coming together to help protect help our kids online.  In attendance were multitudes of technology companies willing be partners to protect our kids online.  Others included people deeply involved in the community;  businesses that were willing to help solve this problem in any way they could; parents, educators and non-profits all together in a room to talk about the safety of our kids online.  People came from all over the United States to offer their concerns and findings. 

Forty-Nine Attorneys General asked the The Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School to form a committee n/k/a the "Internet Safety Technical Task Force" headed up by John Palfrey.   This year-long committee studied all the data available, talked to experts and released their findings on how to protect our kids online.  Despite the media stating this problem is not as big as once thought, could be construed unfounded if you ask the mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers and everyone who care about all the kids no longer with us because of the internet being the tool for better access to our kids.

Last week was quite an event for us at KidsBeSafeOnline. I attended the Internet Safety Technical Task Force at Harvard Law School. The day long presentations were informative and productive to learning what the new technologies are on the horizon for protecting kids identities online.

Should we Age Verify or Not? How will this information be stored? What information will be stored? How will it be kept private? What if there is a breach in that database of stored information? These are the questions that were asked repeatedly to each presenter with the technology to age verify, content monitor, and software for parental controls.

None of the companies presenting had the perfect solution to this issue, but based on upcoming recommendations of the Task Force, it is now possible to combine these very talented companies to develop a very good solution to protecting our kid’s identity online.
