Abstract: This article explores the evolution of Vietnamese legislative thinking on children’s privacy rights, tracinga shift from a traditional framework rooted in family ethics and social norms towards legal responses topostmodern dynamics in the digital environment. In contemporary digital contexts, children are increasinglydatafied, governed by algorithmic systems, and influenced by artificial intelligence. The articledevelops a historical analytical framework by examining the emergence of children’s rights protection ininternational human rights instruments and analysing the processes through which these standards havebeen internalised in Vietnamese law. From a legal-historical perspective, it identifies three stages in thedevelopment of legislative thinking on children’s privacy rights and exposes persistent limitations, notablythe predominance of ex post regulatory responses and the absence of effective technological risk-managementmechanisms. On this basis, the article proposes directions for legislative reform aimed at strengthening achild-centred approach that is responsive to the structural challenges of the digital environment.
