New research from global cybersecurity and digital privacy company, Kaspersky, and Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) finds that parents in APAC and in Egypt find it easier to protect their kids online as they age, and mothers’ protective instincts result to more positive behaviors on digital privacy. “Sharenting”, or the act of parents sharing their parenting journeys including their children’s photo and data online, have become common as the 21st century’s parents’ lives are mostly grounded in technology.
