Scrolling 2 Death

Big Tech: Putting Profits Over People Since '96 (with Alix Fraser)


Listen Later

In this episode I welcome digital advocate Alix Fraser of Issue One. We take a dive deep into the risks of social media and explore how (and why) social media has been created to be harmful by design.

Alix and Nicki cover a ton of topics important to parents; social media, devices, cyberbullying, sharenting and much more!

Alix introduces Nicki to two bills that would could steer us in the right direction with social media regulation and make the internet safer for children.

  • The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA, S.1409) directly addresses the harmful social media business model by placing the health and wellbeing of our children over advertising revenue. Learn more at passkosa.org.
  • The Platform Accountability and Transparency Act (PATA) would create a program facilitated by the National Science Foundation (NSF) for researchers to request access to certain data from social media companies, and require the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to develop privacy and security protocols for the program. Learn more about PATA here: https://www.coons.senate.gov/news/press-releases/senator-coons-colleagues-introduce-legislation-to-increase-transparency-around-social-media-platforms
  • Alix Fraser serves as the Director of the Council for Responsible Social Media at Issue One. In this role, Alix leads the cross-partisan Council of political, civic, public health, business, and national security leaders working to address the threats that social media platforms pose to American society.
