Summary: This event will feature a discussion about the recently released report of the Online Safety and Technology Working Group (OSTWG), "Youth Safety on a Living Internet." OSTWG — a congressionally-mandated blue ribbon working group—analyzed the state of online child safety and offered policymakers and parents a wide array of recommendations for how to keep kids safe and secure in today's "always-on," interconnected world. Several OSTWG leaders will be on hand to discuss the report and outline the next steps that need to be taken on this front.
