Abstract
This chapter looks at the importance of privacy in the family. It examines children and the imposition of ‘sharing’ by parents who assert a right to oversee children's use of the Internet. Although parents have a rationale for this supervision – to protect children from sexual or financial pressures – the danger is that there is then no boundary around a child's private life. The online world of children is different from the world of adults. Although people wish to ensure that adults online cannot harm children, the rights of children as individuals need to be respected.
