2. The woman behind the Online Safety Act
Vicki and Geraldine talk to Lorna Woods, Professor of Internet Law and a chief begetter of the Online Safety Act about how it started with a brie and cranberry sandwich and where it’s gone from there.
Talking points:
- How far has Lorna’s central idea, developed with Will Perrin of Carnegie, survived the turbulent politics of the last five years?
- Will the Act deal with addictive design and the cumulative impact of pieces of content that, taken individually, might not look that harmful?
- Is there a lawyer’s answer to the collision of the fundamental rights of children and adults thrown up by the growth of end-to-end encryption, which allows for untraceable sharing of child sexual abuse material? (Spoiler: there is!)
- Are parents going to be overwhelmed by safety tools - their own and their children’s?
