Former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo led a session at the Pan African Lawyers Union conference in Cairo, where African legal experts called on tech firms to ensure child safety online. The discussion, supported by Luminate and hosted by the Justice Research Institute, focused on the legal and ethical responsibilities of technology companies in protecting minors from online dangers. Participants highlighted the need for stronger regulations and accountability mechanisms to address issues such as data privacy, cyberbullying, and exposure to harmful content. The session emphasized the role of international cooperation in enforcing digital rights and safeguarding children’s well-being in an increasingly connected world. As the debate continues, African nations are seeking greater influence in shaping global tech policies that directly impact young users.
