Welcome to The Digital Trap — the show where I help parents understand tech, set up parental controls, and protect kids online.
In this solo episode, I’m sharing my experience being interviewed by CBS — what the process was like, what they wanted to know, and why the story mattered. We also talk about what happened when Instagram’s algorithm flooded feeds with violent/graphic content, and why this kind of content can keep getting recommended once someone watches even a little of it.
In this episode:
What it was like getting contacted and interviewed by CBS
The Instagram violence “flood” and why it’s bigger than one day
How engagement-based algorithms can amplify extreme content
What parents can do right now to reduce risk and protect kids online
