The world is now reliant on a small handful of (mainly US-based) global platforms for trade<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> and business, data-sharing and advertising<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> flows, intelligence sharing and national security, <\/span><span class=\"s4\">and <\/span><span class=\"s4\">personal and corporate <\/span><span class=\"s4\">transactions and communications. The advantages of technology cross borders, as do the harms. M<\/span><span class=\"s4\">any nations and trade blocs are struggling to find solutions that balance protection from harm with rights and innovation. \u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s4\">Working towards consistency and coherence in the regulatory sphere is a noble idea, albeit one that won\u2019t come quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"s3\"><span class=\"s4\">But there are merits going it alone and seeking first-mover regulatory advantage in this complex, interconnected world. <\/span><span class=\"s4\">As we leave the <\/span><span class=\"s4\">EU<\/span><span class=\"s4\">, <\/span><span class=\"s4\">the UK is <\/span><span class=\"s4\">in a strong position to carve out a uniquely British model of regulation that is compliant with international law and systemic, rather than palliative<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> or reactive. Much of the foundations are already in place; taken together they would increase competitiveness, support our national values and lead the world in enhancing free speech, protecting children and the elderly and improving national security. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"s3\"><span class=\"s4\">As the UK goes it alone outside the EU, it is already clear that standing on our own two feet in setting laws in the digital sphere may not be straightforward. The OECD \u201cwarned\u201d the UK <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/business\/nils-pratley-on-finance\/2020\/jan\/23\/oecd-could-persuade-uk-to-drop-digital-tax-and-thereby-avoid-us-threats\"><span class=\"s5\">in no uncertain terms recently<\/span><\/a><span class=\"s4\"> that it should drop its proposals for a tax on the big tech giants and wait for a global solution; the US <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/business-51206425\"><span class=\"s5\">rattles its threat<\/span><\/a><span class=\"s4\"> of tariffs in response; and the early salvos in what will be a complex set of negotiations and trade-offs for a UK-US trade deal are underway.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"s3\"><span class=\"s4\">For example, the UK can: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"s7\"><strong><span class=\"s2\">Protect children, preserve childhood online, export our approach<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"s4\"> \u2013 a statutory duty of care<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> \u2013 work which has been championed by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carnegieuktrust.org.uk\/project\/harm-reduction-in-social-media\/\"><span class=\"s5\">Carnegie UK Trust<\/span><\/a><span class=\"s4\">\u2013<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> supported by a code of practice drawn up with expert stakeholders would be central to protecting children online.

The social media platforms where so much of this crime happens should take responsibility for what happens on their service<\/span><span class=\"s4\">, and this can be done by applying<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> a statutory duty of care to a range of economic crimes including copyright abuse that effect consumers and SMEs online.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"s7\"><strong>Enhance and promote people\u2019s rights and democratic engagement.<\/strong><span class=\"s4\"> We have a right to speak, but not if we use that speech to silence or intimidate others, or to manipulate democratic engagement. Human rights law gives governments positive obligations to help promote and protect speech. The duty of care regime we set out <\/span><span class=\"s4\">will require companies to have regard to human rights instruments when taking steps to reduce harm<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> and<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> protect the rights of women, children, disabled people and those from gender and minority ethnic communities to speak without fear and participate fully in democratic debate.<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> See<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> Professor Lorna Woods<\/span><span class=\"s4\">\u2019 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/d1ssu070pg2v9i.cloudfront.net\/pex\/carnegie_uk_trust\/2019\/12\/10111353\/The-Carnegie-Statutory-Duty-of-Care-and-Fundamental-Freedoms.pdf\"><span class=\"s5\">recent<\/span><span class=\"s5\"> comprehensive paper<\/span><\/a><span class=\"s4\"> on fundamental rights and a duty of care<\/span><span class=\"s4\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"s7\"><strong>Level up for free trad<span class=\"s2\">e. <\/span><\/strong><span class=\"s4\">We can<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> influence the new rules for online services being made around the world over the next few years. France, Germany, Singapore and Australia already have basic internet-specific laws in place. \u00a0The EU is about to dive into years of complex argument about an EU regulator in the Digital Services Act. Ireland, India, Canada, The Netherlands and New Zealand are considering new law and Japan is under pressure to tighten theirs. \u00a0The UK statutory duty of care <\/span><span class=\"s4\">proposal<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> is the only comprehensive, straightforward package. \u00a0With OFCOM as regulator already obliged to be proportionate in its approach to SMEs and others, this will give British companies a <\/span><span class=\"s4\">headstart<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> in designing services to be safe in any market without constraining innovation.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"s7\"><strong>Help British start-ups<span class=\"s2\"> with a<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> ruthless focus on anti-competitive behaviour<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"s4\"><strong>.<\/strong> The UK has a healthy innovation ecosystem that underpins new markets. Anti-competitive behaviour by the big tech companies is becoming a huge concern.

Government should strongly support these regulators if action is needed and study the cross-over to online harms.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"s3\"><span class=\"s4\">Taken together, <\/span><span class=\"s4\">it is clear that the<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> UK is probably the only country where there is concerted, effective action underway to tackle the full swathe of issues caused by largely unregulated tech companies. Across the developed world, regulation is becoming the new cost of doing business online and Britain <\/span><span class=\"s4\">could get ahead of the curve and <\/span><span class=\"s4\">have the best system: effective, but proportionate. Being regulated here should be a badge of entry to other markets<\/span><span class=\"s4\">, making <\/span><span class=\"s4\">the UK should <\/span><span class=\"s4\">an attractive<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> place for companies to design products and services. <\/span><span class=\"s4\">The government should keep its eyes on that prize \u2013 and not blink first<\/span><span class=\"s4\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"s3\"><span class=\"s11\">For a summary of the duty of care proposal for online harm reduction, take a listen to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/anchor.fm\/rightscast\/episodes\/Protecting-Social-Media-Users-Arguing-for-a-Duty-of-Care-with-Prof--Lorna-Woods-e9i514\/a-a162c8q\"><span class=\"s12\">recent <\/span><span class=\"s12\">RightsCast<\/span><span class=\"s12\"> podcast<\/span><\/a><span class=\"s11\"> with Professor Lorna Woods<\/span><span class=\"s11\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"btn-container\"><a class=\"btn btn-md btn-primary\" href=\"#\">More thought leadership <i class=\"far fa-caret-right\"><\/i><wbr \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seeking global solutions and global co-operation on digital regulation makes sense.
