71 per cent of Indians want to monitor their children’s activity online: NortonLifeLock

Internet usage has increased abundantly as access to mobile devices has become easier. However, Indian children are the most affected by the increased internet penetration, according to a report by NortonLifeLock. Based on the study, conducted by Harris Poll among 1,004 adults in India, 73 per cent of Indian adults surveyed believe children are likely to give their family members’ personal information away online.

“Our children are naturals when it comes to advances in technology, adapting to the latest gadgets to internet apps. While this is great, the research shows that parents believe they need to educate and actively engage with their children’s online activities,” said Ritesh Chopra, Director Sales and Field Marketing, India & SAARC Countries, NortonLifeLock.
