KINGSTON, Jamaica — While welcoming recent comments by Health Minister Dr Christopher Tufton indicating that Jamaica is exploring restrictions on children’s access to social media, Fi We Children Foundation (FWCF) cautioned that limiting access alone will not be enough to protect children in the digital age.

In a statement issued on Monday, the advocacy group said that while efforts to shield children from online exploitation, harmful content and predatory behaviour are important, meaningful online protection requires a more comprehensive approach.

The organisation argued that safeguarding children online demands robust legislation, accountable technology companies and child-centred digital environments.
