Episode 56
Wednesday, 23 April, 2025
In this eye-opening episode, I discuss Meta's platforms and their impact on young users' safety and wellbeing. Despite public messaging about prioritizing safety, internal research and whistleblower testimonies reveal alarming gaps in protection that expose children to sexual predators, harmful content, and dangerous interactions. I examine Meta's business decisions when faced with implementing life-saving safety features, how their algorithms can create harmful content "bubbles," and most importantly, what parents and advocates can do to demand accountability and change!Key Takeaways with Timestamps[00:00] IntroductionThe reality behind Meta's safety promisesThe personal impact on families and young users[04:15] The Statistics vs. Public MessagingInternal research findings Meta tried to hideDisturbing statistics about unwanted sexual advances and discrimination[10:30] Real-World ConsequencesStories of suicide following online harassmentImpact on mental health, eating disorders, and substance abuse[17:45] The Algorithmic ProblemHow engagement-focused algorithms promote harmful contentMeta's research on content "bubbles" and escalating harm[23:30] Predator PlaygroundInternal acknowledgments of safety gapsResults of investigations and test accounts[32:15] Profit Over ProtectionBusiness decisions that prioritized engagement over safetyRejected safety features that could save lives[40:00] Taking Action as Parents and CitizensThe multi-organization petition to Mark ZuckerbergThree key demands for platform safety[48:30] What Parents Can Do NowImmediate steps to protect your children onlineResources for families affected by online harm[54:45] Final Thoughts & Call to ActionHow to support the Design It For Us campaignResources for those affected by online harassmentInstagram is Full of Openly Available AI Generated Child Abuse Content: Pulitzer Center ArticleSIGN THE PETITION HERE!!!Online Safety Resources:Child Online Protection Resources:https://www.commonsensemedia.org/privacy-and-online-safetyhttps://www.connectsafely.org/resources-for-parents/Mental Health Support:Crisis Text Line: Text HOME to 741741https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/sg-youth-mental-health-social-media-advisory.pdfReport Online Exploitation:National Center for Missing & Exploited Children CyberTipline: https://report.cybertip.org/FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center: https://www.ic3.govParent Education:https://www.waituntil8th.org/https://digitalwellnesslab.org/
