  1. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (which is Swedish law since 2020) makes privacy, and I would argue, digital privacy, *extra* important for children.

    Article 16 talks about privacy and arbitrary interference in correspondence. It should include using the internet, the way I see it. Protecting the rights of children could be helped by letting children (of course depending on the age when parents think it’s time for them to have e.g. a phone themselves) privacy respecting OSes or E2EE messenger apps like e.g. Signal/Molly or Delta Chat. My children use Delta Chat, communicating with me if they need on their tablet and our common laptop and it’s really easy to use.

    "No child shall be subjected to arbitrary or unlawful interference with his or her privacy, family, home or correspondence"

    This makes statements by representatives of the Swedish police saying parents shouldn’t let their children use Signal ("because it’s used by criminals") or how police in Catalonia/Spain makes buying Pixels (using GrapheneOS) suspicious not only absurd but *seriously inappropriate and reprehensible*.

    I recommend this video by @vkc

    "So great I’ve moved the whole family to it." (2 minutes in.).

  8. Today is #WorldHepatitisDay!

    #Hepatitis B and C claimed the lives of 1.13 to 1.3 million people in 2023/2024, mainly due to associated #liverCancer and #cirrhosis (#GBDstudy, #WHO). The #trend is still increasing.

    The prevalence of #HepatitisB infection among #children under five decreased from 0.8% in 2015 to 0.6% in 2024 – far off track to meet the WHO #target of 0.1% by 2030.

  12. That meant migrant families could be reunited without fear of being targeted by #ICE, even if they were in the country illegally.

    The #Trump admin has taken a drastically different approach. Since January 2025, the data shows, #ORR has shared more than 460,000 “leads” with ICE about unaccompanied #children, their sponsors -- usually parents or other relatives -- & additional ​household members, leaving them vulnerable to #detention & #deportation.

  14. #ORR was created in 1980 to resettle refugees fleeing war & persecution. Since the early 2000s, the agency has also been charged with housing unaccompanied migrant children arriving at the #US - #Mexico border….

    The care of these #children has historically been walled off from #immigration enforcement. A 2008 law sought to ensure they were placed in the least restrictive setting & released from detention as soon as safely possible, regardless of their sponsors’ legal status.
