Session
Description
In today’s hyperconnected world, users are confronted with risks when relying on the Internet’s applications. Indeed, the features that make the Internet powerful can also lead to online harms that impact societies, particularly vulnerable and marginalized groups. Members of parliament have been given the delicate responsibility of developing effective legislation that enhances safety online, while balancing innovation and risks in the digital space. The global reach and the nature of these risks require collaboration across sectors and, in some cases, across international borders. This session brings parliamentarians together with different actors from the digital community to showcase successful collaborative approaches that effectively and sustainably address online harms.
