The speed and scale of content posted online every day makes dealing reactively with online harms a uniquely difficult challenge. So what is being done to proactively limit our exposure before it happens?

Safety by design is an emerging idea being adopted by product managers and designers, who hope that more thoughtful design decisions can positively influence users' experiences online. In this episode, host Ben Whitelaw speaks to people familiar with the concept about how it is helping to improve conversations on a well-known dating app as well as its potential for combatting other harms, such as child abuse, without compromising people's privacy.

Featuring:
- Alice Hunsberger, senior director of customer experience at Grindr
- Georgina Burke, principal technology advisor at Information Commissioner's Office
- Iain Drennan, executive director of the WeProtect Global Alliance
