[HacktionLab] Privacy & Protection / Online Safety / NYMTech Re: Any talk/workshop suggestions to add?

[Micah+HacktionLab at ourmayday.org.uk]

HacktionLabista,

Just to correct my email it is now the Online *Safety* Bill going through Parliament at the moment rather than as still in my head as Online Harms from consultation & then white paper that lead to@

https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/online-harms-white-paper

but of course if you followed link I gave to the Open Rights Groups they have full low down from their angle.

https://www.openrightsgroup.org/

I myself wish to strengthen privacy and protections for children empowering parents with useable tools to help them protect their children online. Much of justification given for problematic powers in the
Online Safety Bill misses where issues are really and will be counter productive to actually solving problems they purport to solve.

Also worth discussion is how the network effect of domination tech corporate tech lock-in is strong with families, including mine, and plenty to debate there. How to wean ourselves away from corporate lockin while engaging with those around us?

Cheers,

Micah
