Episode description
Alice Marwick (UNC-Chapel Hill) discusses her new paper, “Child Online Safety Legislation: A Primer.”
If you’re wondering, the article Corbin quotes at the top of the show is Zephyr Teachout, Ending Big Tech’s Child Exploitation (Compact Magazine).
Topics include:
- Moral panic in the technical sense
- The Kids Online Safety Act: not about kids, not about safety
- Once more, with feeling: correlation is not causation
- “Harmful content”: no one knows what it means, but it’s provocative
- Care about kids? Center them, not technology
