  • Hopeful!

    What an incredible podcast. I have been following the social media trials and I was so thankful for all your great work, your efforts keeping us informed and for being wonderful human beings. Thank you! The wheel is turning thanks to brave people like you, the parents, the attorneys, and above all the children that stood in front of these giants and made them look so small, so careless, inflicting such harm with their choices prioritising power and profit above basic humanity.

  • Critical information especially for parents!

    So many parents think digital harms are fringe cases that can’t happen to their kid if they are careful or “talk about it”— myths perpetuated by Big Tech. This podcast is spot on with all the keen insight and reporting about what is happening to society due to toxic apps and games.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Heat is On...DC: How many more? (with parent survivor Amy Neville)
Q: What were the key messages or goals at this year's remembrance event?
To highlight the need for duty of care in legislation, acknowledge survivors' advocacy work, and push for strong safeguards like keeping doors open for lawsuits and advancing policies that curb addictive features in platforms.
The Heat is On...DC: How many more? (with parent survivor Amy Neville)
Q: What is Social Media Victims Remembrance Day and why was it created?
Amy Neville and Kristen Bride founded the day to honor children lost to social media harms and to provide a space where families can remember their kids while advocating for stronger protections and accountability from tech platforms.
The Heat is On...Big Tech on Trial: The Evidence (with attorney Previn Warren)
Q: Can you explain what the Social Media Evidence Library is and who it's for?
It's a searchable, filterable repository of internal company documents and communications that reveals what these platforms learned about harms and how they acted on that knowledge, aimed at journalists, parents, policymakers, and researchers to understand the full context behind the cases.
The Heat is On...Snapchat (One Week on Snapchat as a 7th Grader)
Q: Can you talk to, Amanda, how complicated it actually is to perform these test accounts?
Amanda explains they use clean devices, child-registered accounts, and thoroughly document every step (setup, birthday, email) to create a pure baseline, noting it's relatively easy for a 13-year-old to create an account and that Android and iPhone behave differently in friend recommendations.
Is the iPhone Finally Safe for Kids? (with Titania Jordan & Chris McKenna)
Q: Do you think these changes will make iPhones safer for children in practice?
They will be safer to some extent, but not safe overall; the first phone for a child should not be an iPhone, and significant gaps will remain until stronger, auditable standards are in place.
