As the scale and speed of online harms grows, online safety regulators and industry players need to find collaborative solutions to effectively address these risks. At the same time, online safety regulations are relatively new, presenting a unique opportunity for regulators and industry to co-discover and discuss new approaches to shared problems. Challenges which are unique to the APAC region further reflect the importance of broadening the conversation around online safety, which to date has been primarily driven by the West.

This panel will bring together regulator(s) and key industry stakeholders for online safety to discuss how the regulator-industry relationship can improve online safety and overcome unique collective challenges in the APAC region. Panellists will present different perspectives and approaches to navigating online safety, taking into account APAC’s local culture, language and risks. Panellists will also have the opportunity to share success stories and practical insights from private-public partnerships.
