How young is too young? – Frederick Lane addresses Child Safety

 “I’m delighted to be hosting #sextalktuesday on Twitter on September 9, from 3-4pm EST. We’ll be discussing the issue of underage access to adult materials online, and exploring possible solutions (or whether it’s a problem in the first place). How young is too young?”

Frederick Lane (@fsl3) is a nationally-recognized expert on child safety, privacy, and the impact of emerging technologies on society. He is an author, attorney, educational consultant, expert witness, and lecturer who has spoken to colleges, universities, and school districts around the country (from Vermont to Alaska) on a variety of issues, including student safety, electronic misbehavior, and digital privacy.

Lane has written seven books, including most recently “Cybertraps for the Young” and “American Privacy: The 400-Year History of Our Most Contested Right.” During the course of his writing career, he has appeared as a guest on a variety of national media programs, including: Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart”; ABC’s “Nightline” and “Good Morning America Weekend”; CBS’s “60 Minutes” and “Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood”; NBC’s “Today Show” and “Weekend Today”; as well as numerous local and national radio programs. He is currently working on his next book, entitled “Cybertraps for Educators.”
