ISPA tells Lords: Technology alone can’t make the Internet safer
ISPA responded to the House of Lords Communications Committee’s ‘Children and the Internet’ inquiry, highlighting the vast amount of work ISPs have done on safety, including setting up the Internet Watch Foundation, providing free to use parental controls and establishing the Internet Matters campaign to educate parents on the importance of safety. There are still challenges with online safety, but technology can only go so far in dealing with this problem, therefore a partnership approach helping to support parents and carers is needed to deliver a safer Internet. |
