Your browser’s new AI features won’t make your Internet experience any better — and they won’t protect you from online threats.
But #DigitalLiteracy will.
It will also make you realise that browser vendors often simplify or even hide important technical concepts (like URLs and search engines) to keep users dependent on their tools — and locked into their ecosystems for profit.

As you probably know by now, Sean Martin, CISSP and I are not going to be in Melbourne for #CyberCon with the Australian Information Security Association (AISA) this year... which really sucks as we had a great time there in 2024 - We met amazing people, created great content, and truly miss sharing quality time with the #cybersecurity community Down Under!

But this isn't stopping us from being virtually there by reconnecting with friends and meeting new ones while covering the event remotely.

So here's my conversation with the one and only Jacqueline Jayne (JJ) talking about her upcoming session: "Beyond Blame: Keeping Our Kids Safe Online" at CyberCon Melbourne (October 15-17, 2025).

There's something fundamentally broken in how we approach online safety for young people. We're quick to point fingers—at tech companies, at schools, at kids themselves—but JJ wants to change that conversation entirely.

The quiet expansion of surveillance in education is dangerous.

From bus scanners to AI analytics, a student's every move is tracked, creating a data trail that can follow (and potentially harm) marginalized students.

Convenience must not bypass due diligence. Demand transparency, governance, and the right to privacy.

This week in IPON: my piece on a clear vision for AI in education. AI needs direction, not gadget-chasing. @voltnederland argues for moving from pilots to rules & support.

🎓 Curriculum: digital literacy + AI as a continuous strand
🧭 Guardrails: open standards, algorithm registers, no fully automated high-risk decisions
🧠 Media literacy with AI
👩‍🏫 Time for teachers: less admin, stable funding
