Technologies and Technical Measures to Address Online Harms – WS 03 2026

This session will bring in a critical discussion on the do’s and don’ts of using technical measures to mitigate online scams and how to address online harms without breaking the Internet. It will bring together technical operators, policymakers and Internet governance experts to examine:

• The real-world impact of DNS and IP blocking on Internet integrity
• The security implications of interfering with DNS, including DNSSEC deployment
• The effectiveness and limits of existing anti-spoofing and authentication technologies
• Approaches that target harms at their source rather than distorting core infrastructure
