ORLANDO, Fla., Sept. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Since 2021, the innovative minds behind Crypto Tutors have identified a significant gap in Web3 conferences: a startling lack of diversity. Not only were such events prohibitively expensive, ranging from $500-$10K, but they also failed to capture the full spectrum of talent and expertise in the Web3 (blockchain technology, NFTs, digital currencies, crypto, metaverse) community.

Online safety bill: why making the UK the 'safest place to go online' is not as easy as the government claims

It places a “duty of care” on tech companies to ensure their users, especially children, are safe online.

Key Points: 
  • It places a “duty of care” on tech companies to ensure their users, especially children, are safe online.
  • And it aims to provide adults with greater control over the content they interact with, for example if they wish to avoid seeing sexual content.
  • The government has said the new law will make the UK the “safest place to be online”, but this isn’t something that can happen overnight.

The challenges of regulating the internet

    • If platforms are expected to provide “back doors” to technology designed to ensure that communications are private, they may contradict privacy and human rights law.
    • At present, there is no way to grant some people access to encrypted communications without weakening the security of the communications for everyone.
    • While technology continues to develop, it seems unlikely there will be perfect implementations anytime soon for these issues.

What is ‘harmful’ content?

    • Previous versions of the bill placed expectations on platforms to explicitly tackle “legal but harmful” content for adults.
    • This was defined at the time as content that would be viewed as offensive by a “reasonable person of ordinary sensibilities”.
    • While these provisions are now removed, there is still a great deal of intangibility around what it means to protect children from “harmful” content.

What would actually make the internet safe?

    • These measures, if effectively implemented, will make it more difficult for young people to stumble across content meant for adults, but they will not prevent the determined teenager.
    • I often to speak to young people about what help they would like to be safer online.
    • I am reminded of a quote from the American cybersecurity researcher Marcus Ranum: “You can’t solve social problems with software.”
