Panel discussion - The dark side of social media

After attending the last three Chinwag events, which I would highly recommend, I've been asked to speak on a panel at the June event which is mysteriously title ""The dark side of social media"". We'll be talking about elements of social media that hit the headlines (and sometimes not) for the wrong reasons: -

* Identity theft
* Libel
* Stalking
* Scurrilous behaviour

and I'm sure much more. One interesting element of this from a community perspective is how do you decide where the censorship line is to be drawn? Unacceptable language in the Cbeebies community would be perfectly OK in the Quentin Tarantino discussion forum. Also, how we make the back end systems more intelligent in automatically reducing the chances of publishers displaying incorrect/libelous/offensive material on their sites?

So come along to the event, they are always great fun and lively conversations that involve the audience as well, hopefully see you there.
