🎙️ How the Ad Industry Shapes Your Mind — and What You Can Do About It | ft. Alessandra Di Lorenzo

This week on The Disinfo Detox, we go behind the velvet rope of the advertising world with Alessandra Di Lorenzo — former ad industry insider and author of ADJUST: HOW TO SHAPE WHAT YOU THINK.

Host Nolan Higdon digs into what really goes on behind the screens we scroll — and what it means for the future of democracy, education, and digital well-being.

Together, they explore:

👉 How advertising, algorithms, and design manipulate attention and behavior
👉 What lawmakers, educators, and parents can actually do to push back
👉 Why media literacy alone isn’t enough — but still essential

With firsthand insights from inside Big Ad Tech and a roadmap for how policy and public awareness can shift power, this episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to rethink the way we shape — and are shaped by — media.
