SUMMARY:“Doing more” to keep children safe online – why the tech sec
 tor can only do so much - Andy Phippen\, University of Plymouth
DTSTART:20190312T140000Z

CONTACT:Alexander Vetterl
DESCRIPTION:In this talk Prof Phippen will explore current and emerging po
 licy positions on online safeguarding and argue that while the tech sector
  is placed under extreme pressure\, and legislative threat\, to make sure 
 children can using online systems safely\, this approach results in increa
 singly prohibitive technology that negatively impacts on children’s righ
 ts while not addressing the concerns that governments claim they wish to t
 ackle (for example\, preventing access to pornography\, stopping young peo
 ple from sending indecent images\, and making sure they can’t “cyberbu
 lly”). \n\nUsing recent case studies\, such as the tracking of children 
 and the BBFC age verification of pornography services in the UK\, Prof Phi
 ppen\, a computer scientist by training\, will take these policy positions
  to task using extensive empirical work with young people\, to highlight h
 ow these technical approaches are doomed to fail\, and distract from the n
 eed for more responsible policy making with a wider stakeholder group.
