Increasingly, regulators and platforms are moving from a “privacy-first” mindset (think data minimization, parental consent, etc.) to a broader “safety‑by‑design for all minors” mindset (think age assurance, risk assessments, content/algorithmic controls), with real tensions around areas like autonomy and use of AI. 

In part one of this two-part episode of Priv, Dona Fraser is joined by Izzy Neis of ModSquad to discuss this shift from privacy to safety, explore behind the curtain of how “safety online” takes shape in the real world, and break down how to operationalize ‘safety by design,’ including where things typically go wrong.

Host: Dona Fraser, Senior Vice President, Privacy Initiatives, BBB National Programs
Guest: Izzy Neis, Head of Digital, ModSquad
