I support the movement to prevent #Bigtech from exploiting teens, but harms to #babies shouldn’t be ignored. @DanWuori @Surgeon_General @RepDeSaulnier

Big study: curiosity is an important predictor of acad achievemt across the board but esp. for low-income kids: https://t.co/DKjk9NYHIu. Painfully ironic given the curiosity-killing practices (scripted direct instruction, behavior management, etc.) that such kids get in spades.

Powerful visual of today's press conference for the reintroduction of the Kids Online Safety Act #KOSA that brought together parents who have lost children to the harms of social media, medical experts, and youth leaders.

I happy that @AIandFaith reviewed WHO'S RAISING THE KIDS? The digitized, commercialized childhood #BigTech and #BigBusiness foist on kids today is beyond antithetical to their spiritual growth and development. @ThenewPress
Psychologist Susan Linn's book argues that big tech corporations have created harmful computer technologies that lure children to digital devices, training them to grow up to become uncritical consumers. Read Dr. Mark Ellingsen's review of her work below: https://t.co/M7JVZNEEm3

Glad to support @truthinad in its campaign to hold @Roblox accountable for exploiting kids.
Our Founder @DrSusanLinn and Policy Counsel Haley Hinkle discuss how Roblox's advertising and in-game purchasing take unfair advantage of kids.

Thanks, @KCCompton and @EarlyLearningNation for this very thoughtful review of WHO'S RAISING THE KIDS?
Avoiding advertising and consumerism has become nearly impossible for parents, argues @drsusanlinn. In her new book, she provides readers the foundations of insidious practices as a path to change-- @KCCompton reviews: https://t.co/yfTXccDU8Q

These days, wherever kids are, they’re not far from a screen or a smart speaker– or the brands who are using “educational” toys and games to sell them stuff. @drsusanlinn author of WHO’S RAISING THE KIDS?, explains how big tech is targeting our kids. https://t.co/FFNFcWpkW4

I'm exciting about this conversation! #BIGTech hurts kids by coming between them and parents while devices are marketed as improving family life. Spoiler alert: They don't!
Join us in one week for a fascinating webinar with Fairplay founder @DrSusanLinn! Tune in on 1/26 at 7 PM ET to hear Susan talk how Big Tech makes parenting even more difficult, and what you can do about it.
