Tuesday, November 19, 2024 | 12pm - 1pm
In the last two decades, screen time has doubled for young people, with 10-14 year olds spending eight hours per day and older teens even more on screens.The question is not if they are using social media and gaming platforms, but when, and what are they seeing? This presentation will explore the most popular social media and gaming platforms accessed by young people today, with
discussion of the hypersexualized images and pornography they are exposed to. I will link the massive social media, gaming, and porn industries through their explicit content, shared platforms, and common marketing tactics that serve as a fertile hunting ground for predators, exposing the harmful effects of their exposure to young people.
