Online Harassment and Harmful Communications: Discussion (Resumed)
Dr. Tijana Milosevic:
While I was a post-doctoral researcher in Norway, I found that a limited number of children - approximately 26% of my very small sample - were aware of safety centres. A survey with a nationally representative sample found that more children were aware of the companies' reporting and blocking tools, but fewer were aware of the safety and help centres. One should assess how effective those tools are for children. They are not the only tools being used by the companies, which are starting to rely more and more on artificial intelligence. They are open about that in their transparency reports.
