Re: Children Protection on the Social Web

Håkan,

I can't talk about FOSI specifically. Since they made me redundant 18 
months ago I've stuck by the maxim: "If you can't think of anything good 
to say don't say anything" ;-)

There's a lot of research to support what you say here. Researchers like 
Sonia Livingstone at the LSE and Elisabeth Staksrud at the Norwegian 
Media Authority, would, I'm sure agree with you, me, and the person you 
quote here.

And I'm pretty sure Annie Mullins would too. I have written to her, 
inviting her to join the call one day. I've not heard back from her yet 
but I'm hoping that Dan A can talk to her soon and see whether she would 
be able to join a call one Wednesday.

Cheers

Phil.

Anyhow, her research shows that children develop their own working online safety strategies, and that the type of guidelines we have seen from FOSI and others are often misdirected, and impossible for children to actually apply, which instead cause them to create strategies for circumventing them.
