Ben has become one of the most trusted voices helping parents understand what's really happening behind the scenes of kids' technology, apps, and devices.In this interview, we dig into the truth behind today's “child safety” laws — including the App Store Accountability Act, KOSA, and the growing wave of age‑verification mandates sweeping the country. These policies claim to protect kids, but Ben explains why they actually create massive data‑collection systems, expand surveillance, and give Big Tech and government unprecedented control over digital identity.We cover:Ben's background in cybersecurity and why he started The Family IT GuyHow “kid‑safe” apps still expose children to harmful contentWhy age verification = identity verification = surveillanceThe hidden risks inside the App Store Accountability ActHow KOSA incentivizes platforms to over‑collect data and over‑restrict speechWhy these laws don't stop kids from accessing harmful contentWhat parents can do TODAY to protect their kids without relying on Big Tech or governmentPractical device setups, routines, and digital literacy strategies that actually workIf you're a parent, policymaker, or anyone concerned about privacy, digital rights, or child safety, this conversation is essential.Check out Ben's website and follow him on socials: https://www.familyitguy.com/

How safe are your children online? In this powerful episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor Dixon sits down with Michael Villani, founder of Predator Poachers Long Island, to uncover the disturbing reality of online child exploitation and the predators hiding behind social media profiles. After recently helping expose a Meta engineer accused of attempting to exploit what he believed was a 13-year-old girl, Villani explains how his organization identifies suspected predators, works alongside law enforcement, and helps bring dangerous offenders to justice. Michael pulls back the curtain on how online grooming really works, why predators often seek out children through popular apps, and the excuses they make when confronted. He also discusses the legal challenges investigators face, why some offenders receive surprisingly light sentences, and how parents can recognize warning signs before it's too late.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if the secret to a more fulfilling life (and a more effective leadership style) isn't productivity or strategy, but connection?

In this episode, I am sharing some thoughts that have been on my mind: from parenting in the age of social media to why protecting children online should be a priority.I talk about influencer culture, the importance of children's consent and privacy, and what our actions teach kids when they do NOT match the values we say we have. I also discuss the reality of online predators, why I believe parents need to be more aware of the content they share, and why these conversations matter now more than ever.I also share my personal perspective on some public discussions surrounding Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota, including their actions that left me with questions.To lighten things up, I catch you up on life lately, share a few funny stories, and explain why I have been watching a lot less TV.Whether you are a parent, single and childless, enjoy conversations about social media and influencer culture, or just want to hang out for an honest chat, I hope you will join me! Fan Mail HereSupport the show

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.

Have you ever had a gut feeling that something wasn't right with your child—but couldn't explain why? That inner knowing may be your greatest parenting tool. In this eye-opening episode of Radio Medium, Laura Lee welcomes Dr. Debra Bolt, clinical psychologist, child development researcher, and Product Manager of Clinical AI at Aura Parents, for an essential conversation about protecting children in today's rapidly evolving digital world. Together, they explore the hidden emotional, mental, and spiritual impact of AI-powered apps, digital role-playing, online predators, self-harm language detection, and the growing challenges parents face in balancing safety with trust. Laura and Dr. Bolt discuss how parental intuition and practical technology can work together to recognize warning signs early while strengthening communication and connection within the family. Whether you're a parent, grandparent, caregiver, educator, or someone who believes in the power of intuition, this episode offers compassionate guidance, expert insight, and actionable tools to help keep children safe while honoring their emotional well-being. You'll walk away feeling more informed, empowered, and confident in trusting both your instincts and your child's journey.

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.

“AI for All.” That's what Canada's federal government is calling its national AI strategy. It makes the case for building AI with confidence: a homegrown supercomputer by 2031, 60 per cent adoption by 2034. But the new strategy offers little about how it will govern the technology.  Ottawa attempted to answer those concerns with two landmark bills: the Safe Social Media Act, which regulates social media platforms and AI chatbots, and the Protecting Privacy and Consumer Data Act, which brings Canada's privacy laws into the AI era. Together, these bills give the country something it's never had: a single digital regulator with power to hold companies responsible.  It's the most ambitious tech policy move this country has seen. And it's drawing fire from every direction. Critics say a superregulator gives too much power to the government, that privacy and data should be treated separately, and that this is part of a wider government effort to control speech. To dig into the details, we sat down with Evan Solomon, Canada's first Minister of Artificial Intelligence and the architect of this agenda. We talk about why data means something new in the age of AI, how this regulator would actually work, and whether it could have stopped something like Grok's controversial nudification feature – a case the current Privacy Commissioner says he's powerless to stop.

I didn't know if he was alive or dead, if he was injured, or if they took him to a hospital. But when I  realised he was alive, it was like a ray of light in the darkness.".Iran has issued a fresh warning over the Strait of Hormuz.It says all oil tankers and commercial vessels must follow routes designated by Tehran or face what it describes as an immediate and forceful response.The Strait carries around one-fifth of the world's seaborne oil and remains a key issue in ongoing talks between Washington and Tehran..The federal government has increased the application cost for most Australian visa classes by 25 per cent.The application fee for a student visa has increased from $2,000 to $2,500, while the Temporary Graduate, or Subclass 485 visa, now costs $5,750.The latest increases have prompted criticism from some international students and migration agents.Vision Consultants Chief Executive and registered migration agent Ali Lakhani has told SBS Urdu the higher fees, combined with lengthy processing times, will place additional pressure on applicants."The processing time for skilled migration is increased to around eighteen months. So applicants who need to travel have to apply for a Bridging Visa B, and the government is now charging more than double the previous fee.".More than 100 First Nations artists from across the country are in Sydney this week for the National Indigenous Art Fair.Held during NAIDOC Week the Fair brings artists from more than 30 remote community-owned art centres to Barangaroo.Among this year's artists is Fraser Peter, who is turning car bonnets into canvases telling stories of culture, Country and contemporary Aboriginal identity."In our culture, for us as we paint all of this dreaming, we have to hold onto them and the culture in my community is really traditional for us.

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.

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. Joining host Emily McTernan is Jeff Howard, Professor of Political Philosophy and Public Policy at the UCL Department of Political Science and the founding Director of the Digital Speech Lab.

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.

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.

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.

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
