  • 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.
