| 58. | Where minors change their default settings or opt into features that put their privacy, safety or security at risk, the Commission considers that the provider of online platform should: (a) Empower minors with the ability to choose between temporarily changing their default settings, for example for a period of time or for current use in that session and permanently changing their default settings. (b) Enable easy return to default settings, such as a one-click reset or a history-based undo feature for settings that have been changed. (c) Present warning signals at the point at which the minor changes their settings, clearly explaining the potential consequences of their changes. (d) Periodically provide reminders to minors about the potential consequences of their change and periodically provide them with the opportunity to return to their default settings. (e) Automatically turn off geolocation, microphone and camera as well as not strictly necessary tracking features after the session ends, if a minor turns them on. (f) When geolocation, microphone and camera are switched on, make this obvious to minors throughout the period during which they are switched on.
