  • 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.

New Data Exposes the School Tech Crisis (with Titania Jordan)
Q: What did you find in the data about school-issued devices?
The data shows high levels of harmful content on school-issued tech, with violence being the most prevalent category, followed by drug content, suicide-related content, and cyberbullying. Alerts often require real-time triage by schools, but resources are limited, making it challenging to address every issue.
MINI EPISODE: LAUSD Passes Landmark School Screen Policy (with Lila Byock)
Q: Do you think the focus on YouTube and the ongoing lawsuits against the platform helped push Lausd to take a tougher stance on displaying or using YouTube in school settings?
Yes, the public nature of YouTube's lawsuits and internal discussions around its addictive design created momentum for districts to reevaluate student access, especially when a district like Lausd signals alignment with those concerns.
Does i-Ready Work? A Neuroscientist Weighs In (with Dr. Jared Cooney-Horvath)
Q: Based off of your research and in your opinion, does iReady have a place in K-12 schools?
Nothing has a place in K-12 schools that doesn't demonstrate efficacy; if something isn't going to improve learning compared to traditional methods, it shouldn't be debated as necessary in schools.
[THE VERDICT] The Heat is On...Big Tech on Trial
Q: How will this trial affect the other trials to come?
Legal analyst explains there may be limited personal liability, and while outcomes influence ongoing MDL strategies, each case stands on its own with a broader push for policy changes.
I've sued i-Ready | Answering your questions (with attorney Andy Liddell)
Q: What can parents do about this now, and is this a class action they can join?
Yes, it is a class action; parents can join by contacting the firm through edtech.law, and the best immediate step is to reach out via the website's contact form to express interest and receive guidance on next steps.
