This sets the scene for many more cases like this. While the evidence was extensive and very personal, the case highlighted how little user safety features in platform design and decision-making. #SafetyByDesign
This is significant as FB tried to play the 'we are just a platform' card but lost..ie they try to behave like they have no or limited responsibility for the actions of users on their site.

Through a few simple questions, it helps users understand their situation, guiding them on where to report, what evidence to prepare, how to request content removal, and which institutions can assist. #OnlineSafety #DigitalSafety #SafetyByDesign #DigitalRights #Philippines

I was heading a stream of work @artscouncilengland.bsky.social capital grant fund, encouraging schools to “open” to community with Lottery funded facilities. #Dunblane, the tragic murder of children (RIP) & other incidents of harm led to immediate rethinking of #SafetyByDesign & safeguarding.
This is very interesting regarding #SafetyByDesign and #Tech policy as a whole. Because what most Internet and Tech Policy people are saying generally amounts to "It is complicated!" "This will have unintended consequences".
Been on a bit of a journey reading about Systems Thinking in the last few weeks. Why is that, you may ask? Well: point one, I wanted to understand the arguments for #SafetyByDesign as added to the UK #OnlineSafetyAct which says that services must be "safe by design".
What if the Cloud isn’t weightless… but physical, local, and already impacting human health?

Risks Rarely looks dangerous at first
Risk rarely appears all at once. It builds through small issues—an uneven step, unclear lighting, a path that causes hesitation. These details feel minor until they repeat every day. Reducing risk starts with noticing them early.

And always remember: #SafetyByDesign is a puzzle, where age assurance is just one piece 🧩. It must coexist with:
✳️ Parental controls 👨👩👧
✳️ Robust media literacy for minors & guardians 📚
✳️ Collaboration across the entire digital value chain 🤝

They are where friendships form, identities are explored, & communities are built.
The challenge is not that young people want to gather online — it’s that we must ensure wherever they go, those spaces are safe by design.

🧵 4/5
& it’s important to say this clearly: this is not a criticism of children & young people for seeking out alternative spaces to connect. These platforms matter to them.
#onlinesafety #socialmediaban #socialmedia #safetybydesign
🧵 3/5
This is why many researchers are arguing that what’s really needed is a digital duty of care — a legal obligation on platforms to design safer environments, limit harmful content, & constrain algorithms that amplify risk.
#onlinesafety #socialmediaban #socialmedia #safetybydesign
🧵 2/5
From a #DRAGON perspective, this matters deeply.
Our research shows that risk is shaped not just by who is online, but by how platforms are designed & moderated.
When young people are pushed smaller, less scrutinised spaces, they may actually become harder to protect.
#safetybydesign
🧵 1/5
As major platforms become restricted, young people are migrating to smaller, lesser-known apps that are often less regulated.

Australia’s new ban on social media for under-16s was designed to make young people safer online. But early evidence suggests something more complicated is happening.

🛡️ We need evidence-based interventions that interrupt harm early.
🛡️ & we need collaboration across research, government, tech & education to make it happen.

🧵 5/6
Because children deserve digital spaces designed for protection, not profit.
🛡️ We need platforms to build safety into their architecture.
🛡️ We need systems that detect grooming & block CSAM circulation.
