Online Safety Rules Should Not Bypass Democratic Oversight
Original: A Safer Internet Should Not Come with Democratic Shortcuts
A new commentary in Tech Policy Press argues that making the internet safer must not come at the cost of democratic accountability. The piece contends that policymakers should avoid shortcuts, such as opaque enforcement powers or rushed legislation, when regulating online platforms. It warns that safety measures imposed without transparency and public debate risk undermining the very democratic values they claim to protect.
Why now: Governments are currently debating online safety laws, and concerns are growing that these frameworks concentrate power without proper democratic checks.
