Shared responsibility is crucial for online safety, mirroring the layered approach of road safety systems
On this episode of Ticker Clicks, host Jacqueline Jayne asks the big questions: who is responsible for online safety?
As technology becomes integral to our lives, the question of shared responsibility grows more pressing. Everyone, from parents to tech companies, plays a role in online safety, yet clear structures are lacking.
To understand this, consider road safety: Parents educate children, schools reinforce lessons, and governments implement regulations.
In contrast, online safety lacks such a cohesive system.Parents often struggle to guide children on digital behaviour, while schools provide inconsistent lessons. Governments continue to lag in setting comprehensive protections, and tech companies frequently favour convenience over user safety.
