The political angst over kids on social media has gone next level with this idea David Seymour is pushing today. He's saying that, instead of banning kids under-16 from social media, we could just ban them from having smartphones. Quite rightly, he thinks it would be too easy for kids to get around a social media ban, that the likes of National are in favour of. And I couldn't agree with him more on that. But banning kids from having a smartphone? Dream on! At least with the social media ban idea, it sounds good on paper. And only on paper. But trying to ban kids from having a smartphone doesn't even sound good on paper. I'm not sure what David Seymour is trying to do here. If he just doesn't support a social media ban, leave it at that. Because we know already that it isn't working in Australia. In just the past week, we've found out that over there it's failed at the first hurdle. Because the social media companies aren't even complying with the requirement to check the ages of new users. As I've said all along, we should - at the very least - be waiting for this experiment in Australia to show some positive results before we start going down the same track. But it won't work. The early results show that. And we shouldn't be thinking it would work any better here. Because the horse has already bolted. And the horse is going to keep on bolting. Because that's what happens in the online world and the technology world. Kids under 16 wouldn't just use virtual private networks to access their social media accounts. There'd be some kids who would create their own social media platforms. That's how it is. And don't just listen to me. Listen to experts from Queensland University who say banning under-16s from social media is a pipedream. They say there is insufficient evidence to show social media is responsible for the increase in youth mental health problems. They say some marginalised young people actually benefit from social media. Example: I remember hearing someone who works with young members of the Rainbow community saying that social media can be really valuable for the kids he works with. These researchers in Australia also say there is a lack of clarity as to what social media actually is. For example, are all those WhatsApp groups you're part of, are they social media? David Seymour needs to forget about this idea of the government coming in and telling kids they're not allowed to have a smartphone. Because, just like the kids using VPNs to access social media if they were banned from using it in New Zealand, they'd also get around a smartphone ban. Because it wouldn't stop them using their laptops and tablets. So it's a weird idea David Seymour is floating today. The fact that it's coming from someone who is all for personal freedoms and liberties, makes it even weirder. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is the conversation that happened after the conversation. Part one of our Deb Rubin episode covered the foundations: why sexuality is not an emergency, the three things that make kids stop talking to you, and the difference between sexuality and sexualization. This part two episode picks up exactly where that left off, and goes somewhere most parenting conversations don't. The first thread is clothing. Specifically: what do you actually do when your middle schooler comes downstairs in something that makes your stomach drop? Deb walks us through the questions she loves. Not the panicked parental reaction, but the slow, deliberate, genuinely curious questions that keep the conversation open rather than slamming it shut. Is it weather appropriate? Does it fit? Does it feel comfortable? Is it right for the occasion? And underneath all of those: is my reaction coming from a fear, or from a responsibility? She also names something that most parents are thinking and nobody says out loud: people make a quick snapshot decision based on how you look. Not fair. Not right. But true, and worth telling your kid directly, without judgment, so they can factor it into their own deliberate choices rather than discovering it the hard way. The second thread is social media. Deb waited until her daughters were fourteen before allowing any social media at all. She was strict about time limits and relaxed about content, believing that her job was to manage the dopamine delivery mechanism, not to surveil everything her kids were consuming. And then, in junior year, she removed the limits entirely. Not because the concern was gone, but because she had two years left under her roof to let her daughter practice managing herself and discover, on her own, whether she needed limits at all. Her daughter put them back on after a month. That story, (the limits removed, the daughter who reinstated them herself) is the emotional and clinical centerpiece of part two of our conversation with Deb Rubin. Because it illustrates everything Deb has been saying across both conversations: the goal is not control. The goal is critical thinking. The goal is a kid who, when left to their own devices, reaches for what actually serves them. Jenni closes the episode with a clinical frame that Deb immediately said she was going to steal: the dopamine toolbox. When electronics are the only source of dopamine in a child's life, the consequences are significant and well-documented. The invitation, for kids and for the adults raising them, is to build a diverse toolbox of dopamine sources. Movement. Connection. Creative work. Real-world competence. Not instead of screens, but alongside them, so that the pull of any single source never becomes the whole story.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When a recommendation system pushes child sexual abuse material to a user, who answers for it: the algorithm or the company behind it? Host Anirban Chowdhury speaks with Supreme Court of India lawyer Sajan Poovayya, who breaks down India's evolving liability framework for platforms, from the strict liability standard around CSAM ( Child Sexual Abuse Material) to the tricky question of proving corporate intent through POCSO, the IT Act and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.

This episode features Deb Rubin on creating a sex-positive home, the three things that make kids stop talking to you, and why there is no "talk", just a thousand small moments. Deb Rubin is a licensed clinical social worker, psychotherapist, and therapeutic parent coach based in Boulder, Colorado, with over twenty years of experience helping parents navigate the transition from childhood to adolescence. She's also Jenni's longtime colleague and friend, which means this conversation goes places most podcast conversations don't. The episode opens with a deceptively simple question: how do parents move past their own discomfort to become the trusted voice in their child's life around sexuality? And from there it becomes one of the most practically useful conversations about sex education and parenting that Sex and the Psyche has ever hosted. Deb introduces a framework that reframes the entire conversation: sexuality is not an emergency. It's not one talk. It's not a checklist. It's short, sweet, and consistent, a thousand small moments of curiosity and honesty that accumulate, over years, into a child who trusts you enough to tell you things you didn't even know you wanted to know. She breaks down the three parental responses that immediately shut kids down; judgment, over-empathizing, and catastrophic thinking, and explains why the parent who says almost nothing in the moment of a share almost always gets told more. She distinguishes clearly between sexuality (natural, internal, expressive) and sexualization (external, objectifying, worth-based), and explains why conflating the two is one of the most damaging things the culture does to young people. And she names something that Daniel articulates beautifully near the end of the episode: the difference between parenting from fear and parenting from responsibility. A fear requires you to go inward. A responsibility requires you to have a conversation. Knowing which one you're operating from changes everything about how you show up. This episode is for every parent who has ever frozen in the moment, said the wrong thing, or wondered whether they've already missed their window. The answer, Deb makes clear, is almost always no.

Chase Bunker is in for Kristine Bellino today. FBI Special Agent in Charge Jason Carley has tips to keep your kids safe online during their summer break. As kids spend less time in a classroom or structured social activities, they're more likely to spend time online, leading to increased risks of bullying, harassment, and exploitation. Some education, some parental control/privacy resources, monitoring passwords & emails, and staying informed and engaged in their activities (games, social media platforms, etc) can go a long way to protecting them. You can learn more at the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (ic3.gov), and if you suspect a predatory encounter call your local police or the FBI 800-CALL-FBI (800-225-5324), locally 904-248-7000.

As technology evolves, so do the challenges kids face while navigating the internet. CTC's Jenn Wilson-Kolesar shares how her telco created a children's book, "Cyber Tech Critters," to engage kids and instill online safety lessons.

In this episode, host Dr. Amy Grosso speaks with Alejandra Monroy, Prevention Program Manager for Outreach and Prevention at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), about the realities of internet safety and how adults can better support children navigating online spaces. The conversation emphasizes that online safety is not achieved through rules and parental controls alone, but through ongoing communication, skill-building, and creating environments where children and teens feel comfortable seeking helpKEY POINTS:Ongoing, open conversations are one of the most effective tools for helping children and teens stay safe online.Online risks now extend across social media, gaming, AI, and peer interactions, requiring adults to understand how children experience digital spaces.Children and teens are more likely to make safer choices and seek support when adults foster trust, communication, and problem-solving skills.

Social media has a content problem. Some posts incite violence or hatred; others spread misinformation or promote self-harm. The instinctive response is removal, but is that always the right tool? A new paper argues that platforms should often demote rather than remove problematic content, reducing its visibility rather than taking it down entirely. Drawing on international human rights law, it sets out a framework for when demotion is justified, when removal goes too far, and what transparency obligations platforms owe their users. The argument has implications for everything from climate misinformation to eating disorder content to the regulation of use of social media by under 16s.

Sen. Sally Harrell was elected to the Georgia State Senate in 2018, representing DeKalb and Gwinnett counties. Prior to serving in the Senate, Sen. Harrell earned a Master of Social Work and worked as a non-profit executive. Recently, Sen. Harrell co-chaired a legislative study committee on Kids' Online Safety. She and her husband are proud parents of two young adult children. In this episode… Keeping kids safe online has moved beyond screen time limits and reminders about what not to click. From social media and gaming platforms to AI companion chatbots, lawmakers are focusing on features that can manipulate children or expose them to harmful interactions. Parents want stronger protections for their children, and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle agree more must be done. As lawmakers push to regulate harmful design and AI-driven risks, balancing child safety with innovation remains a challenge.  Protecting kids online takes more than one policy or parental control setting. Georgia State Senator Sally Harrell knows this well. She introduced a resolution to create a bipartisan-led Senate Study Committee dedicated to keeping kids safe online. The committee's work helped advance the bell-to-bell cellphone ban for high school students, building on the K through eight ban previously signed into law in Georgia. Their efforts also led to bills addressing addictive social media and gaming design and AI companion chatbot safeguards. The legislative process revealed how lobbying pressure and buried bill language can weaken broadly supported protections. Yet call to action matters. Parents and constituents need to stay engaged, get involved, and speak up to ensure legislators are held accountable for protecting children online.  In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels speak with Georgia State Senator Sally Harrell about the realities of advancing kids' online safety legislation. Senator Harrell explains how the bipartisan-led Georgia Senate Study Committee on kids' online safety turned parent concerns into legislative action. She shares a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to keep bills moving, including the constraints of short legislative sessions, Big Tech lobbying, and the role public advocacy plays. Senator Harrell also provides privacy and security tips for families navigating children's online activity.

Is your teenager's summer "free time" quickly becoming a "digital free-for-all"? As school ends, parents everywhere are bracing for the inevitable surge in screen time. Instead of constant battles over device limits and social media bans, what if you could empower your teen to become a responsible digital citizen? In this episode of The Ash Said It Show, I sit down with Jennifer Berger, founder of Ready Set Screen, to discuss a transformative parenting framework: the Social Media Driver's License. We're moving beyond the typical fear-based narrative surrounding "the social media problem." Jennifer Berger shares why a proactive, skill-based approach is the key to raising digitally responsible adults. By treating social media access as a privilege that requires training—much like driving a car—parents can shift their role from digital "police" to trusted mentors. If you are tired of the daily struggle to control your teenager's devices, this episode provides the roadmap you need. We break down actionable strategies to help you build trust, foster open communication, and prepare your child for the complexities of the digital landscape. Ready to change your approach to teen screen time? Tune in to this essential episode of The Ash Said It Show to learn how to navigate the digital road ahead with confidence, clarity, and connection. Web: https://readysetscreen.org/ Ready Set Screen is an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to youth digital wellness, preventive mental health, and media literacy education. Founded by Jennifer Berger, an expert with over 20 years of experience in classroom media literacy delivery, the organization serves parents and youth ages 10 to 14 (middle school adolescents). Ready Set Screen bridges the critical gap between pediatric mental health advocacy and actionable family technology solutions. It functions as a complete resource hub for parents, educators, and community leaders seeking evidence-based alternatives to strict phone bans and digital surveillance. The primary mission of Ready Set Screen is to counter the youth mental health crisis by equipping the next generation with foundational media literacy and critical-thinking skills. Unlike temporary solutions focused solely on screen-time limits or parental tracking apps, the organization champions a balanced public health framework. Its curriculum teaches children how to safely, successfully, and independently navigate smartphones, emerging media, and social networks without causing friction at home. The signature educational initiative developed by the organization is The Social Media Driver's License. Designed in collaboration with a specialized advisory board—including pediatric psychologists, educational technology directors, internet safety experts, and active teen advisors—this program serves as a practical training course for adolescent digital onboarding. The curriculum uses live-action video instruction featuring peer-aged older teens to maintain high engagement without "talking down" to middle schoolers. Key educational pillars within the program include: Digital Literacy & Algorithm Awareness: Understanding how social media algorithms manipulate attention spans and feed delivery. Mental Health Protection: Mitigating the risks of online comparison, body image dissatisfaction, anxiety, and depression. Digital Citizenship: Building healthy, empathetic online relationships while recognizing cyberbullying and online radicalization. Digital Footprint Permanence: Developing long-term self-awareness regarding privacy and the lasting impact of online content posting. Parental Audio Mapping: A companion audio course allowing parents to actively align with their children's learning track without relying on simple tech "tips." Ready Set Screen operates with total financial and structural independence from major technology and social media corporations. The non-profit's research-backed methodologies have been highlighted in national youth publications like Girls' Life magazine. By championing proactive education over screen restriction, Ready Set Screen works closely with family foundations and educational professionals to establish a scalable, national standard for youth digital health. - Ready to ignite the spark that levels up your entire life?

Debate grows over whether online safety apps are engaging young people effectively.

Alan Kelly, Chair of the Oireachtas Media Committee, outlines the details of their report on the Regulation of Online Platforms which is published today.

Send us Fan MailA mom asked a question at one of our live events that sparked a conversation on our team. She created a phone contract with her kids that included mutual phone checks—meaning she could look at their phones, and they could look at hers. Then she asked: “Is that ok?” In the moment, Mandy said yes—affirming the mom's desire to build trust and model openness. But afterward, our team kept talking. Should phone rules go both ways? Are there situations where that might not be the best approach? In this episode, Mandy and Merideth unpack both perspectives—exploring the balance between trust and leadership. They discuss real-life considerations like privacy, spouse conversations, work-related information, and the kind of content that can unexpectedly show up on a parent's phone. They also zoom out to digital safety—why “deleted” doesn't always mean gone, the risks tied to sharing images, and how AI is changing the conversation for families. You'll walk away with practical guidance on creating a phone contract,  involving your kids in the process, and adjusting boundaries as they grow. Create Guidelines - nextTalk Random Phone Checks? - nextTalk Free Guide: Phone Contract (Faith-Based) - nextTalk Is my kid ready for a phone? - nextTalk Free Guide: Family Pact Kid Version (5+) - nextTalk Free Guide: Family Pact Teen Version (13+) - nextTalk My kid has a phone with no guidelines.

April 27, 2026- A plan from Democratic state lawmakers to safeguard the online experience of kids would have unintended consequences for LGBTQ New Yorkers, according to Shae Gardner, policy director for LGBT Tech.

Have you hear of Clavicular? Well, he's the posterboy for "Looksmaxxing" What started as a niche corner of the internet has exploded into a mainstream movement, where young men are obsessed with 'maximising' their physical attractiveness at any cost. But while it might look like a simple 'glow up' on the surface, its origins in incel forums and its link to extreme cosmetic surgery and steroids have experts sounding the alarm. Today, we go inside the concerning rise of the looksmaxxing trend, investigate the 'Clavicular' lore that resulted in an explosive 60 Minutes interview, and find out why this movement is taking a dark and dangerous turn for men's mental health

Dean and Kristin Coleman, founders of the Upper Valley SAFE Initiative talk about their upcoming workshop on online safety geared towards parents and children.

AI is getting so good at faking reality that the internet is starting to demand proof you are a human, and that is where this week gets unsettling. We talk about Anthropic's “Mythos” cybersecurity AI and why federal agencies reportedly went from pushing it away to urgently trying to get access again. When a model can map vulnerabilities, hunt zero-day weaknesses, and chain exploits across real networks, the conversation shifts from “cool AI” to “who controls the keys to the digital world.”Then we hit the courtroom: a judge rules that private chats with an AI assistant are not protected like attorney-client privilege, and that should change how all of us use chatbots for legal advice, work problems, and personal issues. If you assume your AI prompts are confidential, you are taking a risk you might not even realize you are taking.From there we get practical. We break down scam emails and social engineering tactics you can recognize fast, including fake invoices that push you into calling “support” and installing remote access tools, plus Microsoft 365 “password expires today” phishing pages designed to harvest credentials. We also talk Roblox child safety, the push toward iris scans via World ID for Zoom and Tinder style impersonation, a Starlink outage that stalls Navy autonomous vessels, and even a humanoid robot chasing wild boars in Poland.If you want smarter scam defenses and clearer context for the biggest AI security stories, subscribe to Tech Time Radio, share this with a friend who clicks too fast, and leave us a review so more people can find the show.Support the show

It starts with a message in a group chat: a man asking for advice on exactly how much sedative to slip into his wife’s tea tonight so he can sexually assault her while she's unconscious. Following the horrific 2024 trial of Dominique Pelicot in France, a new investigation has revealed that this wasn't an isolated case, but a thriving global ecosystem. From 'sleep' content on major porn sites to private forums where men livestream their drugged partners for a fee, the scale of this internet-enabled abuse is staggering. We’re joined by CNN Paris Bureau Chief Saskya Vandoorne, who infiltrated these secret 'brotherhoods' to expose how these men operate under the cover of anonymity and why platforms are still failing to stop them.

The UK government opened the biggest consultation on children's digital safety ever attempted. Social media age bans. Overnight app curfews. Restrictions on infinite scroll. Controls on AI chatbots. They want to hear from parents directly.

Not from a journalist. From a dad.We covered:What to say to a parent who feels they've already lost the screen time battleWhat powers the government actually has to force platforms like TikTok, Snapchat and Instagram to changeWhether parents should be worried about children using AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude unsupervisedWhat a safer internet for children realistically looks like in two yearsWhether this consultation will lead to real, enforceable changeThe consultation is live now and closes 26 May 2026.

In this episode from RSA Conference 2026, Marco Ciappelli sits down with Ben Halpert, founder of the non-profit organization Savvy Cyber Kids, to discuss the critical intersection of child development and technology. Since its founding in 2007, Savvy Cyber Kids has been on a mission to provide parents and educators with the tools needed to guide children through the digital world.

In this conversation, we explore: The Evolution of Threats: Moving from MySpace and CRT monitors to 24/7 access via mobile devices. Early Intervention: Why the "rhyme and picture book" approach works for children as young as three to teach concepts like online aliases and stranger safety. Safe AI for Kids: Introducing a new partnership with Chaperone, a platform featuring "homework mode" and parental controls to ensure AI is a tool for learning, not a shortcut for thinking. Going Global: How the organization has expanded internationally with materials translated into Spanish, German, French, and Hebrew. About Our Guest Ben Halpert is a cybersecurity veteran with over 25 years of experience and the founder of Savvy Cyber Kids.
