3.9 Hope and Action: Tackling Sexual Exploitation Head-On with Dana Robb and Carolina Allen

Currents: the Big Ocean Women Podcast

Carolina Allen interviews Dana Robb, our usual host, about her visit to the CESE summit to address ways to protect our children online.

We need to start and, and be very, very basic with parents. What is extortion? Because I think that sometimes we as parents, we just can't fathom that this is happening and that it's as prevalent as it is. —Carolina Allen

TikTok's safety investigation team actually has done some really remarkable things. So they now have at least 20,000 safety investigators that are full time looking for child sexual abuse material on TikTok or harmful, extorting images on TikTok.

Compare that to Meta, they only have five individuals employed. —Dana Robb

What should we do? Yeah. First of all, the phrase that we kept talking about was delay is the way—delay, delay, delay, delay, giving your kids an iPhone or a smartphone. Delay giving them a smartphone as long as possible.

Practice recognizing content that's fed to you. , and tune your mind and take those things out.

In my opinion, I feel like we just need to step away from it, just reconnect to real life.

The biggest thing that we want mothers to know is that you are the greatest influential power for your Children. You need to be. For your families and for your communities, and assert ourselves and regain that kind of confidence in that position of leadership.

We're all pioneers in this, this age of technology, but we can take it as an opportunity and we can be inspired to know what to do for our families.
