from RAW with J · host Jacintha Field

What if someone had already invented the technology to keep your kids safe online and nobody in power was listening?In this episode of Raw With J, I talk to Ric Richardson, the extraordinary Australian inventor known as the man who sued Microsoft and won, to have one of the most important and urgent conversations I have ever recorded.If you are a parent trying to navigate the digital world with your children, trying to understand what is really happening on platforms like Roblox, Instagram and Snapchat, or wondering why the Australian government still hasn't done enough to protect our kids online, this episode is for you.  Ric invented software activation technology in 1992, the system now used by every major software company in the world. His patent was worth half a billion dollars by 2012. He is now turning that same brilliant inventor's mind to the most urgent problem facing families today and he already has the solution. The question is why is nobody implementing it.This is not just a conversation about technology. This is a call to action for every parent, every government and every social media platform that is currently failing our children.In this episode we cover:How Ric invented software activation technology in 1992 and took on Microsoft and wonWhat digital safety actually looks like in practice and why current measures are failing our kidsWhat SafeGen is and how it definitively solves the problem of online grooming and protecting kids onlineWhy Roblox predators and online predators are a far bigger problem than most parents realiseWhy social media regulation in Australia is stuck in a cycle of blame shifting and inactionWhat online grooming actually looks like and how predators are targeting children right nowWhat the Australian government needs to do right now to protect child safety onlineWhy kids and social media is one of the most urgent conversations parents need to be havingHow kids screen time and online safety are connected If this episode made you angry, made you emotional or made you more determined to fight for our kids please subscribe, like and share it with every parent you know.
