My parents are home, it would be weird: Chatbots, Grooming & Guardians

Episode Summary

Parents play a role in the safety of their children online, but what impact does the proximity of parents have on the behaviour of predators ? Dr Eden Kamar discusses interesting experimental research using a chatbot honeypot to collect data on this important issue. Dr Nicolas Vermeys from the Cyberjustice laboratory at the university of Montreal answers my silly questions about the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime.
