Thematic Deep-Dive: Digital trust and security
Guiding questions:
- Digital spaces and online platforms can be exploited by actors for financial,
criminal, social, political, or malicious goals – to spread falsehood, violent and
extreme content, perpetrate scams and other crimes, and manipulate online
behaviors. Which collaborative measures undertaken by Governments, the
private sector and civil society have proved effective in tackling such misuse
so far? How can global digital cooperation strengthen their implementation?
- Different jurisdictions apply different norms to online behaviors. Different
online platforms apply different policies to similar online behaviors. How can
Member States, the private sector and relevant stakeholders engage to define
common frameworks to address the challenges to online safety? - Regarding mis/disinformation and online harm, what policies, frameworks
and measures can be adopted by governments and companies to protect the
integrity of public information and preserve civic spaces for public debate? - What digital cooperation measures, for example trust labels, audits, and
certification schemes, can stakeholders consider promoting trust and safety for
consumer products and services, including AI models? How can we enhance
digital literacy skills and training so that people are empowered to protect
themselves?
