Debate
Data (Use and Access) Bill [HL]Contribution
Those of us who support the introduction of technology but want it to be mindful of rights holders are often cast in the role of tech detractors, but it is a mischaracterisation. We simply want to create a fairer and more equitable set of arrangements to protect human vulnerability, in this case, of children; or to respond to institutional struggle, in this case of schools; and to protect against commercially predatory behaviour, in this case of more than a few edtech companies. An edtech code would stop the muddle of research, social provision and commercial exploitation that happens now in our schools with no rules attached.
