With more states and countries filing lawsuits against TikTok, the tide appears to be turning against companies in the social media space to get them to do more about protecting children and teens from addiction and self harm. Dr. Lisa Strohman, founder and CEO of the Digital Citizen Academy, talks about the latest movements in the TikTok lawsuits, but also provides warnings about other areas of technology that parents need to stay aware of when it comes to people looking to harm kids (gaming platforms, AI and VR ‘dark sides').
Using tactics like how Las Vegas casinos keep customers in their seats, big social media companies are designing interfaces to keep users on the platform for longer periods of times. This can be very problematic for younger users, who have brains that are still developing and can be seriously affected by addiction behavior. Keith chats with Dr. Lisa Strohman, a licensed psychologist and director of the Digital Citizen Academy, about the harmful effects of social media addiction.

Difficult Conversations -Lessons I learned as an ICU Physician
Welcome to Difficult Conversations with Dr. Anthony Orsini. On today's episode I have the pleasure to have as my guest, Dr. Lisa Strohman, who is a Clinical Psychologist, author, public speaker, and the Founder of The Digital Citizen Academy. Dr. Strohman was a visiting scholar for the FBI working on homicidal pedophilia when the Columbine tragedy occurred, giving her an opportunity to be on the front lines of how technology impacts our youth. She has continued to work with law enforcement and the FBI on safety and cyber crimes involving adolescents, while also lending her knowledge and guidance to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. She established The Digital Citizen Academy to proactively prevent and develop curriculum for educators and parents on the issues resulting from technology use and misuse. Dr. Strohman is a frequent speaker on the topic of digital technology and its effects on adolescents and has appeared on TV shows and other media outlets. In addition, she has a new podcast called, The Point with Dr. Lisa Strohman. Lisa takes us through her career, getting her Juris Doctor degree, Ph.D in psychology working with children and working for the FBI, Dr. Orsini brings up the documentary-drama, The Social Dilemma, and Lisa explains how we get manipulated and addicted by technology. She explains how science is involved in how it affects your brain. She explains how time spent on social media platforms produces changes in the dopamine receptors of your brain that are very similar to people who are addicted to drugs. The numbers of suicides are escalating in children, especially with the internet and bullying, and Lisa shares with us just how bad they are. We hear a story about a girl named Molly Russell, who sadly took her life at the young age of fourteen, and what influenced her to do this. .

Tech companies have a long history of using neuroscience to hook children at a young age, such as giving them access to Google suite accounts in the classroom. However, as Dr. Lisa Strohman illustrates, you can’t choose between technology and psychology, you must learn how to use both responsibly. In this second episode with Strohman, the founder of Digital Citizen Academy, she and the Amens discuss how you can help your kids avoid attention hijack.
We can all relate to feeling alone at some point or another, but for younger generations, this is a sensation that is becoming increasingly common. According to a survey conducted by the Young Women’s Trust in the UK, One in four 18 to 30-year-olds report feeling isolated compared to one in 10 older people, aged 64 to 72. And in the US, millennials are the loneliest generation today according to research by YouGov. Technology and social media have been heavily criticized for amplifying sensations of loneliness with one study conducted by psychologists at the University of Pittsburgh claiming the more time a young person spends on social media, the more likely they are to feel socially isolated. To get a better understanding of how technology could be exacerbating feelings of loneliness, we spoke with two experts. Our first guest is the Director of Research at Hopelab, a social innovation lab focused on designing science-based technologies to improve the health and well-being of teens and young adults. Dr. Danielle Ramo. In addition to Dr. Ramo, we will be joined by Dr. Lisa Strohman -- a clinical psychologist and the founder of Digital Citizen Academy, a program created to help educate parents and children about the proper use of technology and the repercussions that technology may have. And for our Weird Wide Web feature, where we highlight a bizarre story from the world of tech, we have a story about AI-generated head shots putting stock photo companies on edge.

Dr. Lisa Strohman joins Brooke to talk about kids and technology and what she has to say will blow your mind. What are the consequences for a kid who asks for or passes along a nude photo from a classmate? How many fake Instagram accounts does your teen have? Can that social media post really cause a problem when it's college admission time? Average middle-schoolers are spending over 11 hours a day connected to social media which can lead to physical changes in the brain, making them resemble schizophrenic brains. Rates of teen anxiety, depression and ADD are at all-time highs and some of the problem can be traced back to the way kids are using technology. We hand our kids powerful devices like phones and computers, which they need education to use without harming themselves and their peers. Without our help they are exposed to dangers they may not know even exist. Brooke and Dr. Lisa cover issues like social media, sexting, online porn, cyberbullying, cyberstalking, screen addiction and all the psychological, physical and legal ramifications of using new media that schools and parents are woefully undereducated on. This is an important episode for any parent with a child who is online or has a mobile device. Dr. Lisa is a licensed clinical psychologist, lawyer and former prosecutor who has developed Digital Citizen Academy dcakids.org to give parents and educators resources to give kids the ability to use technology safely.
