Baroness Beeban Kidron joins Nate to discuss children's rights in our digital world, and why we need new rules to protect them.
Kidron has been a member of the British House of Lords since 2012. Previously an award-winning filmmaker, her last documentary film InRealLife ultimately led her to become an advocate for children's rights online, which she continues both as a parliamentarian and in her role as Chair of the 5Rights Foundation.
Here in Canada, Bill C-11 will strengthen our federal privacy framework, and we expect a new bill to be tabled in the coming months to strengthen online safety and better address online harms. At the same time, our proposed privacy reform does not include any specific reference to children's rights, so changes will likely be needed and this conversation is a timely one.
