SUMMARY:FOSI 2025 European Forum
DESCRIPTION:The Philosophy\, Policy\, and Practice of Online Safety \nOn June 11th\, 2025\, FOSI hosted its European Forum at Netflix’s EMEA Headquarters in Amsterdam\, convening leaders from government\, academia\, industry\, and civil society to examine the evolving landscape of online safety across the globe. With the theme The Philosophy\, Policy\, and Practice of Online Safety\, the forum explored how research\, regulation\, and innovation intersect to create a safer and more empowering digital world. \nThe day began with welcome remarks from Tami Bhaumik\, FOSI Chair and VP at Roblox\, followed by opening remarks from Rob Zimmerman of Netflix. A powerful fireside chat kicked off the program\, featuring Stephen Balkam (FOSI)\, Arda Gerkens (Netherlands)\, Oliver Griffiths (UK Ofcom)\, and Niamh Hodnett (Ireland)\, who reflected on their respective regulatory approaches to protecting children online. \nFOSI then debuted a panel of leading academics—Sandra Cortesi (Berkman Klein Center)\, Julia Davidson (University of East London)\, Pete Etchells (Bath Spa University)\, and Jessica Piotrowski (University of Amsterdam)—to examine the current state of online safety research\, moderated by Stephen Balkam. The conversation touched on themes of digital empowerment\, evidence-based policymaking\, and the nuanced challenges families face across digital platforms. \nThroughout the day\, attendees participated in timely conversations on regulation\, innovation\, and youth engagement. Highlights included: \n\n\nA panel on European regulation\, with experts from 5Rights Foundation\, k-ID\, Online Safety Act Network\, and the European Commission\, unpacking the DSA\, GDPR\, AI Act\, and more. \n\n\nA fireside chat with Candela Montero (Epic Games) and Michael Murray (UK ICO) on youth-focused safety design. \n\n\nA deep dive into tech innovation featuring voices from TikTok\, YouTube\, Telia Company\, GSMA\, Resolver\, and Roblox\, exploring how technology can better support families. \n\n\nIn the afternoon\, attendees viewed a short clip from Netflix’s “Adolescence\,” which uniquely featured high school students sharing their perspectives on the clip and online safety. This session\, led by Stephen Balkam and Madeleine de Cock Buning (Netflix)\, provided a rare opportunity for young voices to contribute to the dialogue around digital citizenship and safety. Their insights seamlessly set the stage for a dynamic panel on preparing kids for digital adulthood. Speakers from Amazon\, Tencent\, Childnet\, and educational and nonprofit groups weighed in on real-world parenting\, digital education\, and kids’ lived online experiences. \nThe day concluded with a final fireside chat between Stephen Balkam and Ruben van der Dussen (Apple)\, followed by closing remarks and a lively networking reception. \nEvent Highlights: \n\n\nFireside Chats with senior leaders from Apple\, Netflix\, Epic Games\, and European regulators \n\n\nPanels on cutting-edge research\, EU regulation\, AI safety\, and digital parenting \n\n\nStudent voices and educator perspectives in response to Netflix’s Adolescence \n\n\nNetworking reception hosted at Netflix’s Amsterdam HQ \n\n\nPhotos and the full event livestream will be available soon.
