We want to hear from experts about the challenges and opportunities to deliver safer, healthier digital experiences. We'd love to speak with cybersecurity experts, child psychologists, LLM safety teams, policy experts, parents - anyone who has experience or an opinion on the matter! Your voice matters to us. Get in touch via missionstudio@nesta.org.uk
1 in 5 children have experienced cyberbullying 1 in 3 children have seen something worrying or nasty online Just under 1/2 of children have been exposed to online pornography These are only a few of the harrowing statistics associated with the poor online safety for children. The enduring failure to protect our most vulnerable can cause significant emotional, developmental, and even physical harm. Furthermore, the scale of risk vectors is rapidly growing with the proliferation of deepfakes. Even toddlers are at risk. In a recent PEW report, 57% of parents with children younger than 2 report their child watches videos on YouTube. About 8% of parents with children younger than 4 report their child uses Snapchat. Parents are increasingly worried, and, importantly, governments are taking action. Ofcom will begin enforcing the Online Safety Act (OSA) in the UK next spring with fines up to **10% of global annual revenue.** As is typical of any legislation, we can expect guidelines on what to do, not how to do it. And we can expect Big Tech to push back in attempts to offload responsibility, a likely battle between apps, operating systems, and parents. However, legislators means business. Big Tech has already been fined hundreds of millions of dollars for child privacy violations: - In 2019, YouTube fined a record $170M to settle allegations by the FTC regarding illegal collection of personal information from children without their parents’ consent. - In 2023, Amazon agreed to injunctive relief and $25M civil penalty for alleged violations of Children’s Privacy Law - In 2022, Epic Games fined $520M over children’s privacy and trickery charges So, how might we address the glaring safety gaps for kids in this digital era? Nesta Mission Studio has some ideas and want want to hear from experts about the challenges and opportunities to deliver safer, healthier digital experiences. We'd love to speak with cybersecurity experts, child psychologists, LLM safety teams, policy experts, parents - anyone who has experience or an opinion on the matter!

Great feature on a Furbnow project insulating a Victorian house with Grand Designs Portfolio! 👏 🏘️
Co-Founder & CEO at Furbnow 🏠| Accelerating home energy efficiency | Top 20 EU Climate Tech Companies | WISE100 2024
🏠 How do you insulate a Victorian house? Read about how Furbnow helped one of our Birmingham customers plan, design and install everything from insulation to an air source heat pump and solar PV in Grand Designs Portfolio! 📜 Their home energy improvements were integrated as part of their renovation plans, starting with our Home Energy Survey and Plan. “Another key learning was timing: get the assessment done as early as possible. If we’d had that measure in place before our builders broke ground, I think that would have made the process smoother.” 💚 We're so proud of the impact Furbnow is having on our customers lives, getting their home energy projects started that they've struggled with for years, even in more complex, Victorian homes. 📩 Drop me or hello@furbnow.com a line if you've been thinking about improving your own home's energy performance for years but struggled to know where to start. #energyefficiency #retrofit #netzero
