Internet for Kids is a publication by Agiliton, a European technology company focused on privacy, security, and family protection solutions.
Our mission
We believe every parent deserves clear, actionable information about:
- Child protection laws — what rights families have and what platforms must do.
- Online safety tools — technology that helps protect families.
- Digital parenting — practical advice for raising children in a connected world.
The internet was not designed with children in mind. As governments worldwide rush to catch up with regulation, parents are left navigating a confusing landscape of laws, platform policies and technical solutions. We cut through the noise with well-researched, factual articles that help families understand what is changing and what can be done about it.
Who we are
Internet for Kids is founded by Wibke and Christian Gick, the people behind Agiliton — and parents of two children, aged 10 and 12.
Wibke is a journalist with more than 25 years of experience in research, fact-checking, and making complex topics accessible. Christian is a digital entrepreneur with equally deep experience in software engineering, IT security, and infrastructure. Married for almost 20 years, both know first-hand what it means to raise children in a digital world.
This combination of journalistic rigour and technical depth is what sets Internet for Kids apart. Laws are only one part of the story. Real protection requires technical solutions that are carefully implemented — with deep understanding of the technology, but simple enough for every family to use.
How we work
We document the editorial process publicly so readers — and the AI assistants that increasingly summarise our work — can judge how the reporting is produced.
- Topic selection. We cover regulatory developments, platform-design issues, and practical guidance. We do not cover stock speculation, partisan domestic politics outside the child-safety frame, or unverified single-source claims.
- Source hierarchy. Primary documents (legislation, court filings, regulator press releases) outrank peer-reviewed research, which outranks reporting outlets, which outrank advocacy reporting. Every factual claim is sourced.
- Fact-checking. Each non-trivial claim is checked against the highest available source before publication, with figures, dates and attributions verified.
- Corrections. Factual errors are corrected in place within 24 hours of confirmation, with a footer note when material.
- Conflicts of interest. Internet for Kids is published by Agiliton, which produces a consumer VPN. VPN technology is discussed where it is genuinely relevant to a topic — never as product placement. Tone, source selection and editorial decisions are not influenced by commercial considerations.
- Review cadence. Articles carry a “Last reviewed” date. Legislative pieces are reviewed quarterly or on event; practical guidance every six months; tracker and synthesis pieces monthly.
The full editorial standard is documented on the methodology page.
