Reflecting on Approaches to Tackling Online Harms
Professor Andy Phippen - Bournemouth University
In this session Prof Phippen will reflect upon the current rhetoric around online harms and the political cycle of prohibitive approaches, with a focus almost entirely on a single stakeholder. He will look back at previous attempts to tackle online harms and show a failure to learn from history. Based upon extensive research in the Southwest of England over many years, he will propose we can learn from other failed prohibitive initiatives and adopt more progressive approaches that align far more closely with what young people are asking for.
