My point about not putting all the responsibility on the individuals comes from several directions. First of all, even if individuals know how to change privacy settings, many platforms will have access to their private messages. While they feel they're protected, they're actually not.
Education is important, but it doesn't necessarily mean training individuals. It's hard to change individual behaviour, but platforms can incorporate tools that can make them more efficient and effective in terms of protecting themselves.
Here are a couple of simple examples. When you go to many browsers now, they have a button when you mouse over a picture that you can use to search and find related images. It's a simple tool that I am happy to train people on, but it's already an embedded part of the platform.
We haven't talked about generative AI, but that's the next stage of this evolutionary process. How do we make sure the tools that individual users can use to detect what is real and what is authentic...? It's not a part of these platforms. It could be through digital certification or it could be through other means, but those should be part of the platforms.
The other quick point about education is that it's much more effective to institutionalize the training.
I'll give you another example. When I was preparing for this meeting, there was a test for Zoom and the instructions told me to go to incognito mode in this browser. Providing instructions is part of the process; it's part of the institution. It's much more systematic and effective.
