The H A R M S - Unthinkable Stories Big Tech Doesn't Want to Tell.
In this three-part series in partnership with the Screen Time Action Network, host Joni Siani shares the heartbreaking stories of beautiful young lives who paid the ultimate price for simply being a typical teen participating in Social Media and life's new norms. From Snap Chat to Tik Tok, big tech portrays these multi-billion dollar industries as "fun new ways for people to connect" without full disclosure of the harmful elements. A lack of education and public awareness, most parents have no idea how their kids are "experiencing" their online lives. These eye-opening episodes are a must-listen for every parent, educator and legislative leader as a call to action. We hope that once you learn about what your kids are actually experiencing, you will be moved to join us.
