Twitter: power and responsibility
On 27th April Twitter’s Senior Director of Global Public Policy, Nick Pickles, joined us to discuss the issues and principles of online safety.
Social media has transformed the world. Twitter has grown incredibly since its creation in 2006 and now has nearly over 200 million active users.
But, as Nick emphasised, with great power comes great responsibility – and Twitter is constantly having to work out how best to balance issues such as freedom of speech and safety online. They recently published a set of principles to inform how policymakers can protect the Open Internet while regulating various aspects of it.
How should people and governments respond to social media? How do we get the benefits, whilst avoiding the harms?
