Have you ever wondered how your digital product or service could harm people? How it can enable or even reinforce violence? – Whose responsibility is the harm that is caused? What responsibility do the tech creators carry?

This time at (Re)Design, I’m joined by Eva PenzeyMoog, who is a designer and author of the book “Design for Safety”. As creators of technology, Eva says in her book, we tend to hope that what we create can be experienced in ideal circumstances, in an ideal world full of ideal users. In reality, however, the world is messy, can be unfair, unjust, and unsafe.

That’s why Eva is on a mission to explain how technology can be weaponised by people to harm other people. She breaks down misconceptions, makes use cases tangible, and illustrates best practices that show how to do differently.
