Abstract
This paper explores to what extent the current illusion of autonomy and control by data subjects, including children and parents, based on consent can potentially be mitigated, or even reversed, by putting more emphasis on other tools of protection and empowerment in the GDPR and their opportunities for children. Suggestions are put forward as to how the adoption of such tools may enhance children’s rights and how they could be put into practice by DPAs and data controllers.
