With millions of teens using Instagram and being automatically placed into Instagram Teen Accounts, we wanted to see if these accounts actually create a safer online experience. Check out what we found.


we’re so used to #apple and #google dominating the app market, it’s hard to imagine the alternatives. but a competitive app ecosystem would be better for all of us, which is why we support the open apps market app and the app store freedom act. #bigtech #antitrust #appstore

We know that tech can be addicting, but what if there was a financial incentive to get off our phones? A new phone provider is planning to pay us back for the data we DON’T use. Could this be enough to get more people to “touch grass?”

From @Time: New Mexico AG Raúl Torrez is suing Meta for its unsafe designs that expose kids to predators, putting young people at risk. As our research has shown, the AG knows that Meta’s “safety tools” don’t go nearly far enough to protect kids online.

With just one company holding power over so much of our digital infrastructure, we risk losing access to key information or communication channels. We need enforcement to stop monopolies like this.
