Web Safety Group Expands European Presence
The Family Online Safety Institute is broadening its horizons by appointing Dave Miles as European development director. He will spearhead the international charity’s work in Europe and help make the online world safer for children and their families. Miles has been a board member of FOSI, formerly the Internet Content Rating Association, since 2002.
Before joining FOSI, Miles was the general manager for RuleSpace, a content filtering service, and has also been a member of the Internet Watch Foundation’s funding council and a participant in the UK's Home Office Internet Task Force on Child Protection on the Internet. FOSI's Stephen Balkam said Miles' "understanding of the challenges the ever-changing online world presents" makes him the ideal choice.
"The real challenge we face with online safety is that as the Internet rapidly evolves, so the challenges become ever more complex and demanding," Miles said. FOSI is "a critical driver in making the Internet a safer place because it creates a unique environment where people from government, regulators, law enforcement, not-for-profit and industry can come together to collaborate and innovate at both a technology and a policy level."
