Microsoft has worked with expert child organizations around the world, such as the American Academy of Pediatrics, AAP in the U.S.

“Experts at the AAP say the Internet can be a valuable resource for parents and children to access information, learn new things and communicate with friends and family. However, they maintain it is important for families to understand that online threats exist and know how they can help ensure a safer experience”. [source]

PressPass has conducted an interview with Ryan Hamlin, general manager of Microsoft’s Technology Care and Safety group, and Dr. Donald Shifrin, M.D., chair of the AAP Committee on Communications.
