Is 13 too low for the age of digital consent? Debate rages over age of digital consent in IrelandIn recent weeks, the director of the Cyberpsychology Research Network, Dr Mary Aiken, warned that the age of 13 for digital consent selected by the Irish Government is too low and leaves youngsters open to malicious and manipulative psychological targeting. Collins believes the Irish Government needs to reconsider setting the digital age of consent as low as 13 when Germany is setting the age limit at 16, France at 15 and China, where the digital age of consent is a new concept, is opting for 14. Do you personally believe Ireland is setting the age limit too low, and is the Government misguided in its approach? Why is Ireland picking the lowest age possible when it comes to the protection of children’s data online?
