livestreamToday Saturday October 26th 2019 at 13:00 UTC the Internet Society Livestream Channel will webcast a lightly edited version of the Internet Society UK England Chapters recent Webinar ‘Gender and IoT: The Implications of smart technologies on victims and survivors of domestic and sexual violence and abuse‘. In recent years, forms of online harassment and sexual abuse facilitated through information and communication technologies emerged. These ICT-supported assaults range from cyberstalking to online behavioural control. While many efforts to tackle technology-facilitated abuse (“tech abuse”) are concerned with ‘conventional’ cyber risks such as abuses on social media platforms and restrictions to devices such as laptops and phones, emerging “Internet of Things” (IoT) technologies such as ‘smart’ meters, locks, and cameras expand domestic violence victim’s risk trajectories further. Leonie Maria Tanczer presented findings of the GIoT working group at University College London’s (UCL) Department of Science, Technology, Engineering and Public Policy (STEaPP).
