Scrolling 2 Death

The Dark Side of Social Media (with Imran Ahmed)


Listen Later

This episode is all about social media and our kids. In this conversation, I welcome Imran Ahmed of the Center for Countering Digital Hate, who gets in depth about the risks that social media poses to our children, and gives a roadmap to solve this harmful hamster wheel.

We cover a number of topics relevant to parenting in the digital world, including: 

  • Social media's addictive nature
  • Harmful content on social media (and how to minimize it)
  • How to navigate "fake news"
  • The effect of AI on society 
  • Imran and his team have put together a Parent's Guide for social media use, available here.

    Imran Ahmed leads the Center for Countering Digital Hate in stopping the spread of hate and lies online through research, public campaigns and policy advocacy. Learn more about their work at counterhate.com.
