Our internet, our choice - Understanding consent in a digital world Ages Assembly Script 14-18 Target Audience Ages 14-18 Background information on the Safer Internet Day 2019 theme ‘Safer Internet Day: Together for a better internet’ This theme has been chosen as the global Safer Internet Day theme by the Insafe network which is made up of Safer Internet Centres based in every European country. It has been designed to refmect the importance of all stakeholders in making a positive change on the internet. This change can come from individuals, schools/colleges, organisations, law enforcement and the internet industry itself. The theme encourages young people to work together to be positive, safe and respectful online. In the UK the campaign will particularly empower young people to take control of their digital lives and consider how consent works in an online context. It will explore how young people ask for, give and receive consent online. This could be in their friendships or relationships, how they take and share images and videos or how they manage their privacy and data. The presentation has been designed to be used in different ways: 1. As an assembly style presentation with discussion questions 2. To be covered in small sections over a week or series of weeks where you have the time and space to explore the questions raised using the quick activities 3. As an hour long session with activities at regular intervals PLEASE READ THE SCRIPT AND LOOK THROUGH THE ‘HOW TO USE THIS PACK’ DOCUMENT AND THE ‘QUICK ACTIVITIES’ BEFORE DELIVERING THE SESSION. IMPORTANT: Each section in this presentation contains a reference to a Top Tips video. Please make sure you download these videos from education-packs.saferinternetday.org.uk if you wish to play them. You can choose to show the Top Tips video at the end of each section or talk through with the script. There is some repetition so it is best not to use both.

We can spend much of our day to day lives online. Whether it’s sending a message to a friend, clicking on Google to answer a question or simply just scrolling through social media to pass the time. But how much control do we really have over our online lives?

Our internet, our choice - Understanding consent in a digital world Ages Assembly Script 14-18 So let’s think about how consent online can be seen differently. What about this fjrst example - If you gave someone a photo of you and then saw it on a billboard in the centre of town, would you be happy? Slide 8 Please put your thumbs up if you would be happy and thumbs down if you would be unhappy. Further discussion questions: - Why would you be happy? - Why would you be unhappy? - Does this happen offline or online? (click for explanation) Although you are unlikely to see yourself like this, a lot of the terms and conditions of the apps and sites we use mean that they have the right to access and use your photos so your photo could be on a t-shirt, advert or leafmet. Would you put your friend into a room with a mix of people they know and some strangers and then leave them there? Please put your thumbs up for yes, you would do this, and thumbs down for no, Slide 9 you would not do this. Further discussion questions: - Why wouldn’t you do this? - Is it ok to add someone to a group chat online with people they don’t know? (click for explanation) We don’t do this offmine but online people add their friends to group chats without asking or thinking. If you said something in private would you like your friend to share it with Our internet, our choice Page 3 of 12 all of your mates? Please put your thumbs up for yes, you would do this, and thumbs down for no, Slide 10 you would not do this. Further discussion questions: - Why might somebody do this? - When would it be really wrong or really right to do so? (click for explanation) People do share times when their friends have said something really interesting, perceptive or funny. Things can also be shared to embarrass someone or discuss things in private. What are the rules here?

Further discussion questions: - How do people give away their friends personal information online? - How do parents give away their children’s personal information? (click for explanation) People often give away each other’s personal information without thinking or asking. This could include adding someone into a group chat which could share their phone number, profjle picture and status. But why do we see consent differently online? • • • Fast paced - Situations can often happen much quicker in the online world • • • • • Better experience - You could have a better experience by clicking agree Slide 12 • For the love of sharing – It can be fun to share things online and receive comments and likes from others • Everybody does it – It can seem like everyone is doing something online so what would the problem be. This isn’t always the case but a few active voices can sound like many more when you are online. • Culturally accepted – It may seem like this is just the way things are at the moment and there is no alternative • Without realising – We might even behave differently online and have different expectations without even realising What can you do? Here are some top tips: • If you would not give your consent in person then don’t give it online either. • Use sites and services that give you choices and take the time to explore Our internet, our choice Page 4 of 12 Slide 13 these before agreeing. • Discuss with your friends and family what you can and can’t share about • • them and your expectations of them e.g. Adding you to a group chat is fjne • as long as you know everyone. If you don’t, they should ask you fjrst. Slide 14 NOTE TO EDUCATOR: To explore this topic further you can use Quick Activity – Online Consent Unpacked. You could also show learners the Lightbeam add on for Firefox that displays the websites we visit and the third party websites they share our information with. These could be done at the time, later that day or the next week. Decide if and how you want to use them.
