Additionally, he emphasized that the misuse of the internet has a negative impact on children and youth, who constitute the main pillars of society. “The solution lies in promoting religious, cultural and moral restraint for young people and in providing alternatives,” he noted, adding that some websites promote negative thought, leading to deviations among young people who lack resistant thought and culture.
Participants in the council urged parents to supervise their children’s internet use, including monitoring programs and media viewed as well as interaction with others via social networks. Council participants also called for using dialogue to open discussions with children and increasing children’s confidence both in themselves and in their families.
