Racism in the comments section is raising questions about accountability for media outlets and social media platforms. Platforms like Meta prohibit hate speech, but recent policy changes have loosened enforcement, leaving some racist comments online longer. In South Africa, the law still bans hate speech, so when videos of packed Durban beaches spark racist comments, could outlets or platforms be liable? William Bird, Director of Media Monitoring Africa, speaks to Lester Kiewit about these challenges and the uncharted metaverse we’re navigating.

In this episode of the Foster Friendly Podcast, host Courtney Williams engages with cybersecurity experts Chad Rychlewski and Kae David to discuss the critical importance of protecting children in the digital age. They explore various topics including digital footprints, the risks associated with social media, and the necessity of open communication between parents and children. The conversation emphasizes the need for parents, especially foster parents, to be proactive in safeguarding their children's online presence and understanding the technology they use. The episode also highlights practical tips and resources for parents to navigate the complexities of digital safety.Checkout their website:www.cybersecurityparents.comTakeawaysUnderstanding digital footprints is crucial for child safety.Parents must teach children about online risks.Open communication is key to building trust with children.Cyber bullying is a significant risk for kids online.Locking children's credit can prevent identity theft.Foster parents can set rules for technology use.Conducting tech audits helps ensure safety.Behavior contracts can clarify expectations around technology.All devices with internet access need to be monitored.Staying updated on technology changes is essential for parents.

In today's world, the internet is more than a tool. It can be a place where friendships are built, identities are explored, and young people find connection. For teenagers, digital spaces are a huge component of their lives. However, the way we talk about online safety often feels like it belongs to another era, one rooted in adult fears rather than young people's lived experiences. A project led by the Young and Resilient Research Centre at Western Sydney University, in partnership with the PROJECT ROCKIT Foundation with funding from Australia's eSafety Commissioner, set out to bridge this disconnect. Instead of telling young people how they “should” behave online, the researchers conducted a survey of 104 young people and workshops with 31 young Australians aged 12 to 17 which asked them directly: What does online safety mean to you? What do you wish adults understood? What would your ideal online world look like? How do you want to learn about online safety? The results were eye-opening and led to the development of a framework to reimagine how online safety education for young people is designed and delivered

Australia has become the first country in the world to ban social media use for children younger than 16. The move has divided public opinion there, but other countries are considering restrictions too. What are the arguments for and against? Will the ban work?

Australia’s world-first social media ban for under-16s starts tomorrow, but two determined teenagers are taking their objection all the way to the High Court. Backed by the Digital Freedom Project, Noah Jones and Macy Neyland argue the ban is partly unconstitutional, restricting young people's ability to discuss public life. We speak with Noah and Macy about their legal fight, their alternatives to the ban, and what they believe is lost when teens are forced offline.And in headlines today, A powerful 7.6-magnitude earthquake shook northeastern Japan overnight, prompting tsunami warnings and orders for about 90,000 residents to evacuate; Seven years after Toyah Cordingley's body was discovered on an isolated beach, former nurse Rajwinder Singh has been found guilty of her murder; A historic apology will be delivered to Aboriginal people as Victoria recognises its past mistreatment of Aboriginal people; Aussies Jacob Elordi, Rose Byrne & Joel Edgerton all nominated for Golden Globes THE END BITS Support independent women's media Check out The Quicky Instagram here GET IN TOUCHShare your story, feedback, or dilemma!

On this episode of "Top in Tech" Megan Stagman, Jessica Mills, and Verity Freeman explore the evolving landscape of online safety, and explore how countries are breaking away from the 'Brussels effect'. They unpack the impact of geopolitical dynamics, such as the Trump administration's stance against European digital rules, and how this creates new space for other countries ranging from Australia to Brazil, to come forward with new platform regulation proposals rather than simply following the EU's lead. The discussion spans where regulation goes next in adapting online safety frameworks to the age of AI, as well as what happens when consumer protection meets online safety in the EU. Hosted on Acast.

As children prepare for school holidays and the new school year, Claire Thompson from Smartphone Free Childhood South Africa (SFC-SA) joins Lester Kiewit to discuss the urgent need to restrict smartphone and social media access for children under 16. Thompson explains how early exposure to harmful online content contributes to South Africa’s gender-based violence crisis and argues that delaying smartphone use is not anti-technology but a crucial public health and GBV prevention measure. Drawing on her experience as a trauma specialist, mother, and NGO worker, she highlights the psychological risks of early digital exposure and points to international examples, including Australia’s under-16 ban and Malaysia’s upcoming 2026 policy, urging South African schools and government to adopt protective measures ahead of the new year.

California has taken a new approach to protecting minors online. Governor Gavin Newsom just signed the Digital Age Assurance Act, shifting responsibility for age assurance to app developers while leaving verification to self-reported age data at the operating system level. The law—backed by Big Tech and set to take effect in 2027—moves away from the stricter parental consent models in Utah and Texas and creates a new compliance landscape for developers under CCPA and COPPA. Hosted by Simone Roach. Based on a blog post by Alysa Z. Hutnik, Laura Riposo VanDruff, Alexander I. Schneider, and Salim Rashid.

Today is an important conversation about online communities and internet rabbit holes. And I felt pulled to tackle this topic for the show because I know that the past few years in particularly has been a time where differently wired kids have beenspending a LOT more time online and connecting with people they may not have even meant in real life and doing their identity development largely online. And I also know that this can put our kids, and us as their parents and caregivers, in challenging positions as we navigate a seemingly endless stream of discourse that may lead our kids down the wrong paths. So I asked my friend and screen and tech expert Dr. Devorah Heitner to join me for a frank and open conversation about it all. We talked about the ways differently wired kids might be exposed to harmful content, and why our kids may be more susceptible to toxic or unhealthy virtual rabbit holes in the first place, the popular places where teens and kids are hanging out the most right now, the way our kids' worldview and their brain development is impacted they content their engaging with, and what we parents might not know that we should know about regarding this topic.

Tara exposes the rising threats to American sovereignty, free speech, and security, from UN taxation schemes and global carbon taxes to European digital censorship laws targeting U.S. websites.

The episode examines NATO's unchecked military actions, the exploitation of U.S. equipment, and the obstruction of peace negotiations with Russia. Tara warns that losing the presidency again could mean permanent erosion of Americans' constitutional rights, highlighting how foreign bureaucracies, oligarchs, and political insiders manipulate law and media to consolidate control.

Can a British regulator really fine an overseas website under the banner of the Online Safety Act? In today's edition of The Capitalist, host Marc Sidwell is joined by free speech lawyer Preston Byrne and journalist Harry Phibbs to discuss Ofcom's £20,000 penalty against 4chan — and what it means for free expression in the digital age.The conversation then turns to calls for a one-off wealth raid to patch Britain's public finances, and to Marc's own argument that Margaret Thatcher's unfinished revolution still offers Britain a blueprint for national renewal.From digital censorship to tax grabs and the battle for Britain's economic soul, this is a sharp, timely look at what freedom really means in 2025.Stay informed with CapX's unmissable daily briefings from the heart of Westminster.

Beyond Blame: Navigating the Digital World with Our KidsAISA CyberCon Melbourne | October 15-17, 2025There's something fundamentally broken in how we approach online safety for young people. We're quick to point fingers—at tech companies, at schools, at kids themselves—but Jacqueline Jayne (JJ) wants to change that conversation entirely.Speaking with her from Florence while she prepared for her session at AISA CyberCon Melbourne this week, it became clear that JJ understands what many in the cybersecurity world miss: this isn't a technical problem that needs a technical solution. It's a human problem that requires us to look in the mirror."The online world reflects what we've built for them," JJ told me, referring to our generation. "Now we need to step up and help fix it."Her session, "Beyond Blame: Keeping Our Kids Safe Online," tackles something most cybersecurity professionals avoid—the uncomfortable truth that being an IT expert doesn't automatically make you equipped to protect the young people in your life. Last year's presentation at Cyber Con drew a full house, with nearly every hand raised when she asked who came because of a kid in their world.That's the fascinating contradiction JJ exposes: rooms full of cybersecurity professionals who secure networks and defend against sophisticated attacks, yet find themselves lost when their own children navigate TikTok, Roblox, or encrypted messaging apps.The timing couldn't be more relevant. With Australia implementing a social media ban for anyone under 16 starting December 10, 2025, and similar restrictions appearing globally, parents and carers face unprecedented challenges. But as JJ points out, banning isn't understanding, and restriction isn't education.One revelation from our conversation particularly struck me—the hidden language of emojis. What seems innocent to adults carries entirely different meanings across demographics, from teenage subcultures to, disturbingly, predatory networks online. An explosion emoji doesn't just mean "boom" anymore. Context matters, and most adults are speaking a different digital dialect than their kids.JJ, who successfully guided her now 19-year-old son through the gaming and social media years, isn't offering simple solutions because there aren't any. What she provides instead are conversation starters, resources tailored to different age groups, and even AI prompts that parents can customize for their specific situations.The session reflects a broader shift happening at events like Cyber Con. It's no longer just IT professionals in the room. HR representatives, risk managers, educators, and parents are showing up because they've realized that digital safety doesn't respect departmental boundaries or professional expertise."We were analog brains in a digital world," JJ said, capturing our generational position perfectly. But today's kids? They're born into this interconnectedness, and COVID accelerated everything to a point where taking it away isn't an option.The real question isn't who to blame. It's what role each of us plays in creating a safer digital environment. And that's a conversation worth having—whether you're at the Convention and Exhibition Center in Melbourne this week or joining virtually from anywhere else.AISA CyberCon Melbourne runs October 15-17, 2025 Virtual coverage provided by ITSPmagazine___________GUEST:Jacqueline (JJ) Jayne, Reducing human error in cyber and teaching 1 million people online safety. On Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacquelinejayne/HOSTS:Sean Martin, Co-Founder, ITSPmagazine and Studio C60 | Website: https://www.seanmartin.comMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder, ITSPmagazine and Studio C60 | Website: https://www.marcociappelli.comCatch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to share an Event Briefing as part of our event coverage?

Parents, are you aware that the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation is warning parents, educators, caregivers, teens, and children about the growing tide of online dangers that they say may lead to the solicitation and enticement of minors to engage in sexual acts. Known as “sextortion”, this danger involves a perpetrator coercing a minor to create and send sexually explicit material. If the perpetrator gets the sexually explicit material, they will then threaten to release those pictures online unless the victim produces more of the same, or unless the victim sends a payment often in gift cards, wire transfers, mobile payment services, or cryptocurrency. Sextortion victims are most often males between the ages of fourteen and seventeen, but anyone of any age or gender can become a victim. Parents, teach your kids to never engage in online communication with someone they don't know, and teach them God's good design for the sacred gift of their sexuality.
