Start with the essentials Know it. Talk about it. Act.

A safer world starts with us.

Ask better questions

How do platforms protect younger users and respond when harm is reported?

Close the gaps

Connect platforms, schools and child-protection services through clear referral paths.

Equip communities

Support bilingual education, school CPC capacity and visible help channels.

A little more guidance

Go a little deeper.

Open just the part you need.

01Platform safety vs limits

Age floor: Most major platforms say 13+; age circumvention remains common.
DM gap: Safety tools inside a game often stop when chat moves to Discord, Telegram, or other private apps.
Settings help; design matters: Parents can harden accounts, but product defaults and enforcement still shape risk.

02PH policy context (facts only)

Philippine Senate / CICC conversations have examined online platforms (including gaming) as part of the risk surface for children. Use official hearing records and government statements — no victim details, no rumor.

03Evidence citations library

FBI / field-office reporting on organized online exploitation networks
NCMEC notes on financial sextortion trends
PH government / Senate / CICC public materials
RA 11930 (OSAEC) official text

04BetterGov campaign framing

Stronger age assurance and parental tools by default
Clear escalation paths between platforms and PH authorities
Funded awareness that is trauma-aware and bilingual
Support for school CPC capacity and hotline visibility
