A shared compromise
The protection of children and adolescents in digital environments requires concrete actions from the State, in coordination with key stakeholders: the private sector, families, academia, social organizations, and, of course, the children themselves.
In this section, we present public policies that Argentina successfully passed or implemented, but that have lost centrality or momentum over time.
