The bill introduced by Senator Blackshear aims to establish a new office under the Attorney General called the Digital Safety for Children Office, as outlined in the newly enacted section 1349.57 of the Revised Code. This office is tasked with monitoring various aspects of online safety for children, including potential safety issues, instances of cyberbullying, and the collection of children's online data.
The creation of this office reflects a proactive approach to addressing the growing concerns surrounding children's safety in the digital environment. By focusing on these critical areas, the Digital Safety for Children Office will play a vital role in safeguarding young users from online threats and ensuring their data privacy.
