Young people, our rangatahi and tamariki, can access virtually any content on their devices - anywhere, any time. As digital natives, they can and should make use of these opportunities for communication, education and entertainment. But rangatahi and tamariki can also be negatively impacted by what they see. You can't control everything they see but you can help them make good decisions about what they choose to watch and help them think critically about the content.
