<strong>Core Hackathon Question</strong><p>How can safety for young users be embedded into digital systems by design, while maintaining strong security and responsible data practices?</p><p>Participants will be challenged to prototype architectural approaches that integrate safety directly into platform design rather than relying on intrusive monitoring or excessive data collection.</p>Participants may explore questions such as:<br><ul><li>How can harmful behavior patterns be identified without intrusive data collection or content surveillance?</li><li>How can privacy aware parental guidance mechanisms be designed without centralized tracking?</li><li>How can user experience design reduce risk for young users while preserving usability and autonomy?</li><li>How can decentralized or consent based reporting mechanisms be implemented securely?</li><li>How can metadata exposure be minimized while still enabling effective safety features?</li></ul><strong>Scope and Design Principles</strong><p>The hackathon will focus on engineering and system design challenges. It is not intended as a forum for regulatory debate or policy positioning.</p><p>All challenge statements will:</p><ul><li>Emphasize privacy by design and secure architecture</li><li>Promote responsible and ethical innovation</li><li>Ensure practical deployability</li><li>Encourage open source compatible solutions</li><li>Avoid adversarial or political framingusers</li></ul>
