Should websites have 'safety ratings'?

From Sunday Morning, 11:05 am on 20 April 2025

As a society we are increasingly living our lives online. We search, scroll, bank, talk and even date in the digital realm. We share huge amounts of personal information with little thought to how entities can be harvesting this information and on-selling it to data brokers.

One suggestion from Fast Company is that websites should protect users safety and privacy by having safety ratings, as we do for cars, appliances and even restaurants. Netsafe's Sean Lyons joins Jim to discuss.
