Nicki Petrossi (from Scrolling2Death) joins Haley to discuss big tech, social media, and protecting our kids online. They talk about the need for these companies to do MORE while also calling on parents to learn about the devices and apps their kids are using. Some of these apps look incredibly kid-friendly but have virtually no meaningful protections between young kids and predatory adults. Roblox is a great example of this, and Haley and Nicki dive into the details behind this popular game platform. They also highlight the importance of whistleblowers at companies like Meta to reveal the truth of what's going on behind the scenes and how these corporations are prioritizing profit over people.
Nicki Petrossi is a mom of three and former social media executive turned social media reform advocate. In late 2023, Nicki launched Scrolling 2 Death, a podcast for parents who are worried about social media. Since then, Nicki has published over 250 podcast episodes which include conversations with U.S. Senators and lawmakers, tech whistleblowers, doctors, attorneys, teachers and most importantly – parents and youth – to learn about their experiences online.
Nicki travels the country, speaking to large audiences at schools, conferences and summits on topics related to online safety. She regularly appears on news segments like America's Newsroom on Fox, NBC and Morning on Merit Street by Dr. Phil, in addition to appearing as a guest on dozens of parenting and health-related podcasts.
