Caitlin Regehr: 我认为现行的《在线安全法案》令人失望，未能充分解决问题。我认为政府可能因为担心资金或政治家需要社交媒体来赢得选举而退缩。因此，我认为公众应该开始质疑那些资助这个系统的广告商，因为我们是广告商的消费者。我们需要改变对科技公司的分类，不能再将它们视为没有责任的索引者。社交媒体平台与广播电视的分类方式不同，导致儿童可以看到成人电视上不允许播放的内容，我认为现在是时候改变我们对这些平台的分类方式了。该法案本身没有足够的约束力，Ofcom 对该法案的解读也存在问题，他们只关注限制向年轻人传播的危害，而社交媒体公司几乎没有动力去执行年龄验证。甚至《在线安全法案》的应用前景也变得越来越渺茫。

Shownotes Transcript

The ‘Smartphone-free Childhood’ movement has alerted many of us to the dangers inherent in our – and our kids’ – use of devices. But while we can shield children from technology in their early years, withdrawing from the online world is not an option for most of us in adult life. So how do we ensure that we – and our children when they grow up – develop a healthy relationship with smartphones and don’t become addicted to mindless scrolling and harmful consumption?

On May 13, Professor Kaitlyn Regehr – one of the world’s foremost experts on digital literacy – comes to Intelligence Squared to set out the science of smartphone addiction. She will provide a practical guide for taking advantage of the good things the internet has to offer while giving advice on how to avoid its darker side. Regehr will discuss how to think critically in a digital environment that is constantly seeking to harvest your attention and how to understand misogyny, pornography, politics, body image, advertising and violence online.
