Resumen: El progreso de la tecnología en los medios de la información y comunicación comporta una evolución social que se proyecta particularmente, en las últimas generaciones, nacidas en la era digital, lo que implica un salto cualitativo en la esfera de la globalización social, permitiendo una fácil accesibilidad de las  personas, y de los jóvenes en particular a distintos ámbitos sociales, hasta hace poco tiempo, impensables, a la vez que un elevado conocimiento de datos de privacidad de las personas que navegan por las redes, no siempre son tratados con la prudencia debida. Esta circunstancia, unida a la espiral de degradación del respeto a valores y principios, provocan con frecuencia episodios de uso perverso de las TIC, especialmente, aplicándolas en determinados ámbitos en los que la juventud e infancia son principales protagonistas y más vulnerables, con la intención de hacer daño, intimidar, amenazar, victimizar a los menores en el tiempo, puede conducir a resultados, a veces trágicos. La vulnerabilidad de los menores frente al desafío de las nuevas tecnologías, no siempre controladas a través de un adecuado uso por parte de los menores, hace urgente una más exhaustiva y precisa regulación en la UE, y mayor armonización de criterios en el ámbito de las regulaciones internas de cada Estado.

CONCLUSIONS Abstract: The progress of technology in the media of information and communication entails a social evolution that is particularly projected, in the last generations, born in the digital era, which implies a qualitative leap in the sphere of social globalization, allowing easy accessibility of people, and of young people in particular to different social areas, until recently, unthinkable, while a high knowledge of privacy data of people browsing the networks, are not always treated with the prudence due. This circumstance, together with the spiral of degradation of respect for values and principles, frequently provokes episodes of perverse use of ICT, especially applying them in certain areas in which youth and childhood are the main protagonists and more vulnerable, with the intention to harm, intimidate, threaten, victimize children over time, can lead to results, sometimes tragic. The vulnerability of children to the challenge of new technologies, not always controlled through proper use by the minors, makes urgent a more exhaustive and precise regulation in the EU, and greater harmonization of criteria in the scope of the internal regulations of each State.
