Abstract: Telecommunications carriers in Japan have been obligated to promote filtering use and empowerment as a policy to ensure youths’ online safety. However, the rate of filtering use has decreased in recent years. To address this situation, awareness education has been implemented as a national policy. This study analyzed the efficiency of education to promote filtering use. According to the results, educational experiences increased in 2014 compared with that in 2009, although these experiences could not promote filtering use. The findings suggest that the educational policy needs to be improved to promote filtering use before young people purchase a cell phone.
