Hi all,
I'm part of a postgraduate team at Dublin City University working with Chirp, a startup developing real-time, embedded child-protection software for telecom operators. The solution analyzes data traffic on children’s devices to block harmful content and alert parents to risks such as grooming, cyberbullying, or self-harm — all while respecting privacy and working natively within telco infrastructure.
As part of our MSc practicum, we’re seeking feedback from telecom and network professionals on the commercial, technical, and regulatory feasibility of such an approach.
This proposal has the hallmarks of Jeremy Benthams Panopticon, being a naïve attempt to use radical transparency for good, seemingly beneficial reasons, with no regard to the myriad of bad uses it will immediately utilised for. As such, it will fail the Bentham utilitarian test, seeing as the balance between good and evil will topple rapidly in the wrong direction. As you have been told repeatedly, in many different ways, it is in effect a very bad idea and should go no further than meeting this polyphonic choir singing "No". /Måns, late to the party. -- Måns Nilsson primary/secondary/besserwisser/machina MN-1334-RIPE SA0XLR +46 705 989668 I'm reporting for duty as a modern person.
