How Viral Challenges go Horribly Wrong | The Antony Gordon Show w/ OSMS's Ed Peisner

In Episode #1 of The Antony Gordon Show, Antony sits down with Ed Peisner, founder of The Organization for Social Media Safety (“OSMS”) - the leading U.S. organization confronting the real-world dangers hiding behind our screens.This conversation begins at the point most debates skip. In 2017, Ed’s son Jordan was brutally assaulted in West Hills, California. The attack didn’t end there. It was filmed, uploaded, and went viral. The algorithm amplified the trauma. The internet watched. No guardrails. No accountability.Out of that devastation, OSMS was born. Antony and Ed break down how social media has evolved into an unregulated public safety threat, why kids are uniquely vulnerable, and how Big Tech incentivizes and actively rewards harm, humiliation, and outrage.They also unpack what actually works - including OSMS’s consumer-protection model, their work with policymakers, educators, and media, and why incremental fixes are not enough. This episode isn’t about panic. It’s about clarity. Not censorship - protection. Not theory - consequences.If you care about kids, truth, or the future of a generation raised online, this episode is required listening.Follow along: https://link.me/LIGHTHOUSEEDUTAINMENTSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
