Session
The digital space offers significant opportunities to every connected person to express themselves, and to access online information and services. A combination of evolving social, structural and technological factors exposes vulnerable groups – such as children, people with disabilities and marginalized communities – to a range of online threats including cyberbullying and algorithmic discrimination. Protecting the most vulnerable in society against these threats demands targeted, inclusive and enforceable policy responses. This session will explore current legislative gaps, propose online safety frameworks and examine good practices in regulation and platform accountability to ensure a safer digital space for all.
