Girl meets Instagram. And then her childhood – and her life -  are forever altered by the effects of social media. This is what the Surgeon General is telling us. This is what the research is showing us: rising depression, anxiety, eating disorders and suicides. But behind this data, real people are suffering the consequences.Kara Alaimo, communications professor and author of  Over the Influence: Why Social Media is Toxic for Women and Girls – And How We Can Take It Back, has researched social media since 2016. Through her interviews, she's heard countless stories of algorithms leading users from a subtle interest to a dangerous spiral.  Engaging with a workout post led to a feed full of ‘fitspo' content, featuring influencers with unrealistic body standards – which led to body dysmorphia,  disordered eating and lasting mental health struggles.“We grew up with Seventeen Magazine, which also promoted unrealistic beauty standards, but we didn't spend hours a day - every day - looking at it,” Kara explains. It's the combination of toxic content and the time spent that creates actual harm for young girls.Tune in to hear Nicki of Scrolling 2 Death and Kara discuss her research insights and strategies for managing kids' social media use.Kara Alaimo, PhD is a communication professor at Fairleigh Dickinson University, where she created the university's academic programs in social media.

Her research focuses on data-driven innovation and its impact on organizations and society. Alaimo co-authored the book Data Rules: Reinventing the Market Economy with Jannis Kallinikos, which MIT Press published in 2024. She also serves as a senior editor of the European Journal of Information Systems. Summary In this episode of Talking About Platforms, Cristina Alaimo discusses her work on platforms as new enterprise forms mediating heterogeneous actors' participation, highlighting the central role of data in transforming social and economic relations. She introduces the concept of "de-centering," which distinguishes platform-based organizations from traditional organizations focused on boundaries, resources, and concentrated knowledge. Platforms, unlike traditional organizations, thrive on the dispersed and heterogeneous participation of actors, recentralizing data to produce value. The discussion explores the cognitive revolution in business and the importance of data as a resource of knowledge, not just economic value. Cristina emphasizes that data is not simply found or given by users but is actively made through the engineering of platform participation. She also touches on the impact of regulatory frameworks, like the EU's Digital Markets Act, on digital platforms, noting that their effect may be limited due to the dynamic nature of the environment and developments in AI. We delve into the complexities of privacy in the data economy, question the concept's operationalization, and advocate for a more specific discussion about citizen rights. Cristina calls for academia to avoid ideological battles and instead focus on understanding how data is produced, who benefits, and the various dimensions of data, urging a more nuanced approach to data economy discussions. Additionally, she highlights the need for a cautious yet flexible approach to regulation, considering the broad impact on knowledge access and societal norms.
