The Back Story
After 15 years running a successful social media marketing business, Nicki Reisberg started to ask questions.
Why are people spending so much time on platforms that make them feel bad?
Why are we so focused on portraying a fake version of ourselves?
And most importantly, why are we letting our vulnerable children access addictive and harmful spaces online?
Nicki began digging in. The research was hard to find, but it was there. Social media is bad for kids.
If we had to point at the main cause, it would be directly in the face of social media platforms and the executives who run them.
Every parent who has lost a child to an online harm deserves to be heard. We cannot let Big Tech’s lobbying, gaslighting campaigns and biased research drown out the voices of parents.
We have to be diligent and clear in our work as a society united. We cannot let companies put their profits before children’s lives. One death is too many. Despite social media platforms like Snapchat and Meta knowing full well that their platforms instigate harm, they continue to plow ahead, making no significant changes to protect our children.
It is the mission of Scrolling 2 Death and the parent listeners to force change through kids online safety legislation and influencing a society shift to let our kids be kids, for as long as possible. That includes delaying smartphones and social media, and educating our children on the fact that they are a product to these companies and nothing more.
