Are social media platforms really doing enough to protect our children? With Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok introducing new safety features while facing growing legal scrutiny, parents are left wondering just how much protection these platforms actually provide.
In this episode, I explore recent developments involving Meta and TikTok and raise an important question: Are we paying enough attention to how social media platforms are designed, rather than just the content our children see? I also discuss why parental controls alone cannot teach self-control and what parents should consider when helping children navigate the digital world.
Tune in for insights on privacy settings, meaningful conversations about social media, and family expectations that encourage healthier technology habits. Discover why raising digitally responsible children requires more than relying on platform safety features.
