Kudos to @BuffyWicks and @Cunning_Jordan for their leadership on the #CAKidsCode! The 10-0 vote in support of the Age Appropriate Design Code is a huge step towards protecting Californian kids online. californiaaadc.com/

ראיתי עכשיו את חדשות 13 ודורון הרמן שואל האם זה נאות שילדים קטנים יראו את שושקה ויצטרכו חס וחלילה לשאול את הוריהם מה זה אברי מין.
לא רק שרצוי שילדים ידעו מה זה אברי מין ותפקידיהם, הם חייבים גם לדעת מה זה מגדר. הקישור האוטומטי של איברי גוף ומיניות היא חלק מהבעיה הגורפת כאן.
Almost 3/4 of parents of a child under the age of 12 say they are at least somewhat concerned their child might ever spend too much time in front of screens, according to latest Pew research. Biggest surprise: 61% seek advice on screen time from doctors or other medical profs.

the first time I raised the issue of racism and hate being hosted on @twitter - directly with the company - was in 2014. @twitter’s inaction over the past few days has been shameful. It’s enough. If you think so too, join us on Monday #nosafespaceforjewhate

Living in the 21st Century makes affordable, high-speed Internet a necessity. There's a bill in Congress that would make it available to everyone in the U.S. Tell your representatives to vote "yes." act.eff.org/action/tell-cong…
"Candidates should have a native familiarity with digital news publishing and editing.”
First time I have noticed this phrasing in a job ad. A not-so-subtle message to non “digital natives” to hastily move on? Is this even legal?!

"teenagers have a more interpersonal, and less technical, conceptualization of privacy, so they may not be as aware of the ramifications of sharing data with governments or corporations compared with sharing private information with friends or parents"

With all due respect to cosmetology, aren’t we all glad that journalism worked out for you (though I know it is not without its challenges...)!

In despair, I often find myself referring to ‘digital naifes’, an apt term coined, I believe, by @eszter
@Livingstone_S talking about the problematic term digital natives. Digital natives implies that children are tough and able to cope with whatever they find. It implies they are all competent despite the complexities of the digital world that we know. #esafety
New report from the House of Lords Select Committee on Democracy and Digital Technologies ties in with Living Online Lab’s campaign for the introduction of Internet Studies. Proud that committee member @lordparry is on our Board of Trustees.

Crucial to teach youth that algorithms are not just helpful and neutral “formulas” that recommend songs on Spotify and books on Amazon. #internetstudies

"... the digital age requires us to deploy a wealth of digital skills and knowledge in order to evaluate online content. These include ... a critical understanding of the digital environment, what sources can be trusted ..." Stop, think and check before you forward/like/act
“How do digital experts evaluate online content? From how they fact-check information to how they diversify their exposure to different sources, there is a lot that we can learn from their expertise” @GF_Polizzi @MediaLSE
