On the 7th of June 2017 the Centre for Information Rights, University of Winchester on behalf of BILETA and supported by the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies organised the inaugural BILETA seminar entitled: Have ‘Generation Tagged’ Lost their Privacy.
The workshop debate was wide-ranging covering a number of circumstances in which young children may be depicted on broadcast and social media: in what has become known as “sharenting”; in the reporting of the news and current affairs; in documentaries produced by mainstream media; by non-mainstream digital media and on social media, for instance in user-generated comment. The full workshop report can be found at: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2oCtwXqKOm_TXg4S2dmdjEtRjA
A call will soon be distributed to elicit bids to host the BILETA seminar in future years.
