Last week I had the privilege of hosting about 100 high school and college students, lawmakers, educators, law enforcement and tech executives at ConnectSafely's Safer Internet Day event in Sacramento. There were a couple of panels and a "fireside chat," but it was mostly tableside conversations among stakeholders, including executives from Google, Meta, OpenAI, Snap, TikTok, Amazon, Roblox, Apple and Discord. The event, organized by ConnectSafely in partnership with Children Now and National PTA, focused on preserving technology's benefits while reducing its risks through thoughtful, research-informed discussion.
