Safety by design panel now. #UKIGF19

Antonia Bayly from @DCMS says safety by design is a key approach #UKIGF19

@DCMS David Hunter from CRISP says safety so far has been reactive #UKIGF19

@DCMS Is #safetybydesign the same as content moderation, asks Ben Bradley as chair. #UKIGF19

@DCMS Ah wonderful, #UKIGF19 is being spammed by porn bots during the #safetybydesign panel.

Not that I feel unsafe but there’s a certain irony here.

@DCMS For instance, with crop for your personal safety: #UKIGF19

@DCMS So whose fault is this exactly? Porn people, Twitter, or #UKIGF19? Legislators are saying we blame @Twitter for failing to make their system #safebydesign but is that wholly fair?

@DCMS @Twitter A bigger question is to get to what risks we are talking about exactly. Panel is moving to talk about some of these relating to children.

#UKIGF19

@DCMS @Twitter David Hunter makes comparison to traditional products: it's much harder, he recognises. It's a "constant battle, new things change every day." #UKIGF19

That's part of the problem with speech.

@DCMS @Twitter Rachel O'Connell compares with #privacybydesign. However, privacy risks are more of a closed, directly managed set than users unleashed on a global platform. #UKIGF19

@DCMS @Twitter Antonia Bayly says #onlineharms white paper is all about #safetybydesign

I am still not sure what it is concretely, beyond managing clear present risks, many of which are done.

There's something in anticipating risks – but there's a huge difficulty in gaming systems

#UKIGF19

@DCMS @Twitter And it remains that legislative requirements for risk management point in the opposite direction to protecting free expression.

This has been touched on but not central to this panel.

#UKIGF19

@DCMS @Twitter Well, if there is one thing I've learnt today it is why TwitterFalls are a thing of the past. #UKIGF19
