The ALL ME® Podcast The Sale of Steroids on Social Media - Imran Ahmed Summary In this episode of the ALL ME  Podcast, host Brian Parker engages in a crucial conversation with Imran Ahmed, founder of the Center for Countering Digital Hate. They discuss the pervasive issue of anabolic steroids and the alarming accessibility of these substances to youth, particularly through social media platforms like TikTok. Ahmed shares his personal journey and the motivations behind his work, emphasizing the need for awareness and action against the spread of hate and misinformation online. The conversation highlights the detrimental impact of social media on body image and mental health, particularly among teenagers, and presents findings from a study on TikTok's promotion of dangerous substances. This conversation delves into the alarming influence of social media on teen drug use, particularly the promotion of steroids by influencers. It discusses the legal loopholes that allow these practices to continue, the lack of accountability for social media companies, and the urgent need for transparency and regulation. The dialogue emphasizes the importance of empowering parents and raising awareness to combat these issues effectively. Takeaways Awareness is crucial in combating the spread of misinformation. The online and offline worlds are inseparable in shaping societal norms. Social media algorithms often promote harmful content for profit. Youth are particularly vulnerable to body image issues exacerbated by social media. The Center for Countering Digital Hate aims to hold social media companies accountable. Regulatory measures are necessary to create costs for harmful online content. Advertisers can play a role in reducing the spread of dangerous content. TikTok has a significant impact on youth, with many using it daily. Research shows that steroid-related content is prevalent on TikTok. The need for transparency and accountability in social media is paramount. Social media platforms are promoting harmful content to teens. Influencers are monetizing the promotion of illegal drugs. The algorithm tracks user behavior to target content effectively. There is a significant disconnect between what kids see online and what parents know. Section 230 allows social media companies to evade accountability. Transparency and accountability are crucial for social media regulation. Parents need to have open conversations with their kids about online content. Awareness is the first step towards change. Supporting organizations that advocate for change is essential. Legislation is being developed to protect kids online.   Chapters 00:00 Introduction to the All Me Podcast and Its Focus 02:00 Imran Ahmed's Background and Motivation 06:57 The Center for Countering Digital Hate: Mission and Strategies 15:10 The Impact of Social Media on Youth and Body Image 19:10 Research on TikTok's Promotion of Dangerous Substances 24:03 Quantifying the Problem: Steroid-Related Content on TikTok 26:20 The Influence of Social Media on Teen Drug Use 30:22 The Role of Influencers in Promoting Steroids 34:30 Legal Loopholes and Accountability Issues 38:46 The Need for Transparency and Regulation 45:30 Empowering Parents and Raising Awareness Resources ·         TikTok's toxic Trade Study: ·         Center for Countering Digital Hate: ·         Section 230: Follow Us: Twitter: @theTHF Instagram: @theTHF Facebook: Taylor Hooton Foundation #ALLMEPEDFREE Contact Us:  Twitter: @theTHF Instagram: @theTHF Facebook: Taylor Hooton Foundation #ALLMEPEDFREE Email:  Phone: 214-449-1990 ALL ME Assembly Programs:

Social media trends stirring controversy: The “Trad Wife” movement is gaining millions of followers; critics call it regressive. Plus, fit influencers are pushing steroids to young men, raising health concerns. Social media trends can change drastically in just a year, and two movements are now capturing widespread attention—and controversy. The “Trad Wife” phenomenon, where women embrace traditional homemaking roles and step away from the workforce, has surged in popularity, amassing millions of followers and nearly 100 million views. But while some celebrate the lifestyle, critics argue it reinforces outdated gender roles and diminishes women's societal standing. Meanwhile, young men across the country are being drawn into a more dangerous trend—following fitness influencers who promote performance-enhancing drugs like steroids. A study from the Center for Countering Digital Hate reveals that in just three years, videos pushing steroids to teens and young men have been viewed over 420 million times. As these two trends gain momentum, they spark heated debates about gender, health, and the influence of social media.

In a recent episode of Palestine Declassified, hosts Chris Williamson and David Miller were joined by The Grayzone editor Max Blumenthal to dissect the controversial role of the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH). The discussion centered on the CCDH's efforts to suppress pro-Palestinian voices on social media, particularly under the leadership of Elon Musk. The episode shed light on the organization's ties to Zionist interests and its broader agenda to silence dissent against Israeli policies.The first segment featured Latifa Abouchakra, who detailed The Grayzone's investigative work exposing the CCDH as a dishonest entity masquerading as a watchdog. The report revealed how the CCDH, despite its claims of combating hate speech, systematically targets and erases content supportive of Palestinian rights, effectively aligning itself with the Zionist regime's propaganda efforts.The second segment delved into the CCDH's extensive network of connections, including its links to the British Labour Party, the Community Security Trust, the Pears Foundation, and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) in the United States. These ties underscore the organization's role as a tool for advancing pro-Israel narratives while undermining legitimate criticism of Israeli actions. The episode highlighted how these relationships enable the CCDH to wield significant influence over digital platforms, shaping public discourse in favor of Zionist interests.Overall, the program provides a critical examination of the CCDH's activities, exposing its role in the broader campaign to delegitimize and suppress pro-Palestinian advocacy. By connecting the dots between the CCDH and its institutional backers, Palestine Declassified offered a compelling case for how digital censorship is weaponized to serve political agendas, particularly those aligned with the Zionist movement. This episode is a must-watch for anyone concerned about free speech and the ongoing struggle for Palestinian rights.Read The Grayzone's reporting on leaked emails from the CCHD

This week on Tech News Weekly, host Mikah Sargent is joined by guest co-host Dan Moren to discuss Siri privacy concerns and how Apple could leverage AI to improve the user experience. Jason Hiner of ZDNET.com reports on CES 2025 on the latest TV displays, NVIDIA's AI innovations, and more. Then Imran Ahmed, CEO of the Center for Countering Digital Hate, weighs in on Meta's controversial decision to end fact-checking on its platforms. Dan's latest column explores how Apple could use AI to benefit users by improving spam filtering, search capabilities, and automation. Implementing these features would align with Apple's focus on simplifying technology. Apple released a statement clarifying that Siri recordings are not being used to build ad profiles, despite an ongoing conspiracy theory that devices are always listening. In reality, ad targeting is based on online behavior. At CES 2025, new TV display technologies were announced including brighter OLED panels likely using "tandem OLED" and a new mini-LED backlight system from Hisense for improved color depth. Lenovo showcased an expensive laptop prototype with a screen that rolls up to double in size, though it may have limited practical appeal for now. NVIDIA unveiled COSMOS, an AI framework to generate synthetic training data for robots and self-driving systems, which could accelerate future autonomous innovations. Offbeat CES products included an electric spoon that makes low-sodium foods taste saltier to promote healthier eating, and aggressively priced TVs from TCL. Meta announced it will end fact-checking and rely on community moderation, which CCDH CEO Imran Ahmed argues will amplify the spread of misinformation and cause real-world harms.

Nick Cohen chats with Imran Ahmed, the CEO of the U.S.-based Center for Countering Digital Hate about the fight against the forces of online hatred and extremism that pose such a threat to western values, democracy and civilisation. What can the West do to face down the out-of-control moguls who control the social media giants and profit from a tidal wave of digital hate and extremism?A lost truth leading to authoritarianismSocial media is destroying the truth and the currently chaotic information system is leading to authoritarianism. Imran says, "The information ecosystem has evolved in recent years and has been entirely commercially driven and has been without the consent of people - quite often - forced upon us." Imran adds people should have the ability to force change on the social media giants.Social media giants profit hugely from hate - & driving people to extremesConspiracy theories, extremist views, disinformation. misinfomation and outright lies are increasingly dominating social media more and more. Imran says extremist political movements were "benefiting from mobilising conspiracy, theory communities, hate communities, and that wasn't just happening in the U.S. You know, the lazy assumption is this is a Trump thing. It's not." He adds, "What social media platforms have done have taken... those fringe ideologies, [&] churn them into the mainstream."The West has failed to Musk & social media moguls to accountImran is one of the few to have taken on by Elon Musk and survived to tell the tale! Back in March, Imran comprehensively defeated Musk in the courts when a U.S. judge threw out attempts by the Trump boot-licker to gag Imran's CCDH organisation. But, so far, the West hasn't been as determined to take on the Leviathans of digital. "It is because of a lack of will and a lack of confidence, I would argue, amongst European and United States, lawmakers, that we have failed to hold them accountable'", Imran tells Nick, adding, "that's in part because, you know, this is difficult for us. We are true believers in Britain and in the United States in freedom of speech."Feeble or no regulation leaves us all exposed to digital hateImran says the local deli is subject to far more regulation than online social media moguls and that has ledt us all exposed to thr abuses of social media power as we saw in the U.S. presidential cam paign when. Elon Musk flagrantly put X, formerly TWITTER to the service of Donald Trump. Imran asks "How on earth can it be that social media platforms are the only businesses in America that are not subject to negligence law or any kind of scrutiny whatsoever?"Imran Ahmed founded the CCDH in December 2017. He frequently appears in the media as an expert in online malignant behaviour (identity-based hate; misinformation; extremism; fake news; trolling; and social media). Imran is a trustee of the charity, Victim Support. He was appointed to the Steering Committee of the UK Government's Commission on Countering Extremism Pilot Task Force in April 2020, and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.Nick Cohen's @NichCohen4 latest Substack column Writing from London on politics and culture from the UK and beyond.

As Trump announces the appointment of Elon Musk to tackle US government efficiency, James Heale speaks to Katy Balls and editor Michael Gove about the dynamics of Labour's relationship with the tech billionaire. Musk had a public spat with Labour figures over the UK summer riots, the Center for Countering Digital Hate - co-founded by Starmer's Chief of Staff Morgan McSweeney - is facing a congressional investigation, and some Labour figures are even calling on the party to quit X/Twitter. Should Musk's closeness to president-elect Trump worry the Labour government? But first, the team discuss Health Secretary Wes Streeting's proposed NHS changes, and Liberal Democrat attacks on Labour's National Insurance employer increase. Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

Glenn Beck Special. Election 2024: How the Global Elite Control What You See, Think, and Feel We're now less than two weeks away from a monumental election, and the media, Big Tech, and global elites — including British Labour Party members — are all working in overdrive to get Kamala Harris elected. This “propaganda industrial complex” is laying the groundwork for post-election censorship, but Glenn exposed it all in his new book, “Propaganda Wars.” In this episode of "Glenn TV," he reviews some of the highlights: Why are elites so obsessed with censorship? How far will they go to ensure that Donald Trump doesn't win in November? And how can the average American learn to cut through the propaganda and find the TRUTH? Glenn also reviews some of the latest attacks on free speech, including the British-based Center for Countering Digital Hate's targeting of X and Elon Musk and Kamala Harris' terrifying use of the vice presidential office to compare Trump to Hitler. Plus, the co-author of “Propaganda Wars,” Justin Haskins, joins to ask a disturbing question: Will this election's “October surprise” be a deepfake?   Watch this Glenn Beck Special at- https://youtu.be/Di6SiQMrUe0?si=quFHUlXwwP7AndzH Glenn Beck 1.37M subscribers 44,177 views Premiered Oct 24, 2024 #blazetv #theblaze #Glennbeck ► Click HERE to subscribe to Glenn Beck on YouTube: https://bit.ly/2UVLqhL ► Click HERE to subscribe to BlazeTV: get.blazetv.com/glenn ► Click HERE to subscribe to BlazeTV YouTube:     / @blazetv   ► Click HERE to sign up to Glenn's newsletter: https://www.glennbeck.com/st/Morning_...

In this episode I speak with mRNA pioneer and acclaimed physician-scientist Dr. Robert Malone about his new book, PsyWar: Enforcing the New World Order, co-authored with Jill Glasspool Malone. The book uncovers the history and strategies behind modern psychological warfare, detailing how propaganda, censorship, and psyops are used to manipulate public opinion and control society. Dr. Malone shares not only the tactics being employed but also how we can resist totalitarian influences. Key topics from PsyWar we discuss: • Propaganda and behavioral control. • The role of psychological bioterrorism in driving fear. • Deep state censorship and threats to free speech. • Surveillance capitalism and data exploitation. • Fifth-generation warfare and its societal impact. • The rise of techno-totalitarianism and global control. Dr. Malone emphasizes the crucial role of free speech in uncovering truth and preserving personal sovereignty. We explore why defending open discourse is vital for America's future and how a return to the principles of the Constitution can help restore our freedoms.

In this episode of "Sara Gonzales Unfiltered," Sara dives into the Democrats' growing panic as internal polls show them losing. She highlights how the L.A. Times, for the first time in four election cycles, has refrained from endorsing a candidate, even with Kamala Harris' deep ties to California. Sara warns of potential chaos between Election Day and a Trump inauguration, citing figures like James Carville, who urged Democrats to prepare for civil war, and Congressman Jamie Raskin, who has openly suggested refusing to certify a Trump victory. As the Left escalates its rhetoric, Kamala Harris compares Trump to Hitler while Biden suggests Trump should be "politically locked up," alluding to the ongoing legal battles Trump faces. Sara stresses the importance of preparation for viewers, urging them to secure homes, stock up on supplies, and be ready for unrest. The episode also explores how Democrats are working with U.K. leaders to "kill" Elon Musk's Twitter (now X), with the U.K.'s Centre for Countering Digital Hate coordinating attacks on the platform. Sara discusses how free speech is under fire globally, with figures like Hillary Clinton and John Kerry advocating for stricter controls. Sara highlights the media's role in pushing false narratives, pointing to the Atlantic's debunked story about Trump disparaging slain soldier Vanessa Guillén. She also touches on persistent falsehoods like the “very fine people” hoax, which Biden and Harris still repeat. Sara wraps up with Chris Cuomo's critique of Kamala Harris, questioning the media's sudden glorification of her despite her lack of accomplishments. Throughout the episode, Sara urges viewers to stay informed, prepared, and vigilant as the political landscape grows more chaotic. Sara is joined by Jason Buttrill, chief writer and researcher for Glenn Beck, and Justin T. Haskins, who co-authored "Propaganda Wars: How the Global Elite Control What You See, Think, and Feel" with Glenn Beck. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode, host Dr. Christina Madison interviews Jessica Steier, DrPH, PMP, CEO of Vital Statistics Consulting, and the founder and CEO of Unbiased Science, on her journey in public health and entrepreneurship. In a period of misinformation and disinformation, both Madison and Steier discuss the importance of creating informed, evidence-based decisions within health care. Key Takeaways: Data-Based and Evidence-Informed Decisions: Using her podcast, Unbiased Science, Dr. Jessica Steier explains that she doesn't intend to tell people what scientific opinions to have. Instead, she encourages listeners to use data and factual information to create their own evidence-based decisions to avoid falling for misinformation and disinformation. Misinformation Versus Disinformation: Dr. Steier explains that the difference in these terms revolves around intent. Misinformation refers to the unintentional spreading of inaccurate information, whereas disinformation is the intentional spread of false information. Dr. Steier also highlights a study conducted by the Center for Countering Digital Hate which found 12 people were responsible for the bulk of disinformation surrounding vaccines. The Benefits of Social Media: Although social media has been harmful in spreading misinformation and disinformation, Dr. Steier and Dr. Christina Madison discuss how it has been beneficial in emphasizing previously underdiscussed topics. As an example, they note the pain that women experience during IUD insertion, and how the mass discussion of that topic has encouraged health care practices to begin offering solutions and additional education.

Almost 500 arrests have been made in connection with the eruption of far-right violence this week following the killing of three young girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport, in the North West of England. False claims on social media said the suspect was an asylum seeker, and that he was Muslim. It's the worst violence in the UK in recent times, quickly spreading the length and breadth of England, fuelled by online misinformation. So what can be done to tackle the real life harm triggered by online hate? We ask Imran Ahmed, founder of the UK Centre for Countering Digital Hate.

Dr. Jonathan Howard and Wendy Orent discuss Jonathan's recent experience of being cancelled, censored, and silenced. Jonathan shares his story about being disinvited from speaking at a conference because his talk was considered "too political." The conference organizers, fearing backlash from powerful politicians and the potential negative impact on their organization, decided to cancel his talk. Jonathan challenges prominent figures like Bari Weiss, who advocate for free speech, to come to his defense. The episode critiques the misinformation spread by prominent doctors during the COVID-19 pandemic, emphasizing the contrast between genuine scientific discourse and the misleading information propagated by some well-known figures. Jonathan highlights how these doctors, despite their prestigious credentials, have contributed to the spread of COVID-19 misinformation and have influenced public health policies negatively. He contrasts their influence with that of known anti-vaxxers like Kelly Brogan, noting that while the latter's influence was predictable, the former's was more insidious due to their respected positions. The episode also underscores the real-world consequences of such misinformation, comparing it to the imaginary world these doctors seemed to inhabit. Jonathan and Wendy discuss the importance of accurate information and the dangers of allowing political influences to dictate scientific discourse. Key Points: Jonathan Howard's Cancellation: Jonathan was disinvited from a conference because his planned talk was deemed too political and potentially controversial. Challenge to Free Speech Advocates: Jonathan calls on Bari Weiss and other free speech advocates to defend his right to speak and challenge the silencing of scientific discourse. Critique of COVID-19 Misinformation: The episode criticizes doctors like Jay Bhattacharya, Vinay Prasad, and Scott Atlas for spreading misinformation about COVID-19, comparing their approach to that of known anti-vaxxers. Real-World Consequences: The discussion highlights the dangers of misinformation and the impact of political influence on scientific discourse and public health policies. Contrast with Anti-Vaxxers: The episode contrasts the influence of mainstream doctors spreading misinformation with that of known anti-vaxxers, emphasizing the former's more insidious impact due to their respected positions. Resources Mentioned: Jonathan Howard's Articles: Science Based Medicine - Platform where Jonathan publishes his articles critiquing COVID-19 misinformation. Key Figures Critiqued: Jay Bhattacharya Vinay Prasad Scott Atlas Bari Weiss John Ioannidis Martin Kulldorff Jeffrey Flier Referenced Media: JAMA Network - Journal of the American Medical Association, which hosted an interview with Jay Bhattacharya. The Hill - Publication that featured Scott Atlas's article "Re-entry after the panic." Related Movements and Concepts: "We Want Them Infected" Movement - Refers to the controversial approach of deliberately infecting young and healthy individuals to achieve herd immunity. Anti-Vaccine Movement - Mentioned in relation to Kelly Brogan and the disinformation dozen identified by the Center for Countering Digital Hate.

Last week, a federal judge granted a motion to dismiss and strike a lawsuit brought by X Corp, formerly known as Twitter, against a nonprofit research outfit called The Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH). To learn more about why the ruling matters, Justin Hendrix spoke to Alex Abdo, the litigation director at the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University; Imran Ahmed, the CEO and founder of the Center for Countering Digital Hate; and Roberta Kaplan, a partner at the law firm of Kaplan, Hecker, and Fink, which represented CCDH in this matter.

This week, the Idiots discuss 00:00 Welcome! 00:36 ISIS Attacks Russia 07:44 Francis Scott Key Bridge 16:16 Trump Bibles for Sale 27:41 Columbia Breaks up with Israel 29:02 Twitter Loses Lawsuit 32:53 Candice Owens Gets Fired The breakdown:  —Vladimir Putin wanted the ISIS attack on the Crocus City Hall attack in Moscow to be Ukraine so badly. He still wants Ukraine to be involved. We discuss the joys of living in a police state (dictatorship)—namely the ability to beat the unholy hell out of captured terrorists—as well as the downside—state controlled media.  —Six people lost their lives when the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore, Maryland. That tragedy should give people pause to reflect and discuss the event with respectful tones, right? Ha! Not when conservatives (as well as insane people, like Alex Jones and Kevin Sorbo) are involved. Tragedies are meant to be twisted, don't ‘cha know? What really caused the Dali to hit the bridge? Nothing being spewed by Fox News, that's for sure. (Side note: the idiots also discuss the stupidest of the stupid among us, QAnon believers, and how they believe conspiracies over the truth every single time.) —The Idiots love Donald Trump. That's all there is to it. Imagine how beautiful it would be to have insanely loyal followers like he does. He said it himself: he could shoot someone, and his followers wouldn't bat an eye. And now he's selling the dumbest of the dumb bibles. —Columbia is done with Israel. Did they break off diplomatic ties? Nah, Columbian president  Gustavo Petro sent a Tweet. Well done, Gustavo. —Speaking of Twitter, Elon Musk just lost an obvious lawsuit. He's a champion for free speech, which is fine, but you can't be both a champion of free speech, and cry foul when it's pointed out that hate speech increased under your watch. When you allow the worst of the worst to spew their stupid on Twitter, don't be surprised when you're called out. Elon tried to sue the Center for Countering Digital Hate, and because facts matter (sometimes), the case was tossed. Go justice. —What kind of world do we live in where two hate-filled people can't get along and hate together? Ben Shapiro and Candice Owens are perfect together on paper. So, Ben hired Candice to spread garbage on his garbage site, The Daily Wire, but for reasons unknown to the outside world, they couldn't make it work. Oh well.

Dr. Phil and Imran Ahmed, Founder and CEO of the Center for Countering Digital Hate continue their conversation on the dangers of social media. They explore the lessons from Molly's story and how online content contributed to her taking her life; the double standards of social media companies and how they are not taking accountability for third-party content; and how we are building awareness of this gross neglect. Social media is full of wonderful opportunities for people to connect. It is also filled with people who push identity-based hate, extremism, disinformation, and conspiracy theories. Imran Ahmed joins Dr. Phil on his Phil in the Blanks podcast to discuss psychological malignancies on social media – and how to protect our children against them. ABOUT: The Center for Countering Digital Hate counters hate and disinformation, by disrupting the online architecture enabling its rapid worldwide growth. Digital technology has changed the way we communicate, build and maintain relationships, set social standards, and negotiate and assert our society's values. Digital spaces, however, are often safe for bad actors spreading hate and disinformation, turning them into a hostile environment for others. Over time these bad actors, advocating diverse causes – from misogyny and racism to denial of science and conspiracy theories – have mastered using these platforms to cause considerable real-world harm.  ●TikTok Parents Guide: TikTok pushes harmful content into young users' feeds.
