Major online safety regulations and legislation are now in force across the UK and EU: the UK’s Online Safety Act, the Age Appropriate Design Code (AADC) and the EU’s Digital Services Act, to name a few. Laws are taking effect, businesses are responding and enforcement is gathering pace.
But what has actually changed for children?
On the 14th of May, the Digital Futures for Children centre (DFC) will bring together leading voices from regulation, legal scholarship and child rights. In presenting new DFC research examining whether regulation is actually working, the event will reflect on how regulation reshapes platform design, governance and accountability in practice.
Speakers:
- Steve Wood, PrivacyX Consulting, former Deputy at the Information Commissioners's Office (ICO) (Report author)
- Beeban Kidron, Crossbench Peer, House of Lords, UK Parliament and Chair of the Management Committee at the Digital Futures for Children centre
- Chair: Sonia Livingstone, Professor at the Department of Media and Communications, LSE and Director of the Digital Futures for Children centre
The event will be followed by a drinks reception.
