Are internet technologies inherently safe? Are they predisposed to honesty and integrity? Some may have thought so when the Internet was new, but our accumulated experience with issues like ransomware, misinformation and harassment suggests problems that merit more thoughtful consideration. This talk will share a vision for a safer internet, based on excellent privacy, excellent safety and a balanced approach to enforcement and prevention. We will explore the structure of abusive online behavior, how pre-existing offline systems use reputation and accountability to manage abuse, and how these approaches could apply to online media. Sound implementations of enforcement and prevention can enable a virtuous cycle that creates a bias towards honesty and integrity, making online media a net positive force for society.
