Vicki and Geraldine discuss Parent Zone’s paper, Tools: A False Hope?, looking at user empowerment tools, which are often seen as a 'silver bullet' in discussions about keeping both children and adults safe online. But will they actually work?

• How long would it take to set up all the tools on all your favourite platforms and services? (Spoiler alert: quite a long while.)
• How effective are tools anyway? 
• Who knows what happens to all the data that has to be collected for the tools to work?
