McBlog: “Big Tech is disempowering & deceiving parents.”

Last week Bob was at the Social Conservative Policy Conference (SoConCon) in Washington DC with social conservative leaders from the US & also Canada. In this episode, he speaks to Melissa McKay, a Utah mother of five who has spent her career at the intersection of child advocacy and digital policy. She has drafted Congressional testimony, filed FTC complaints against Apple and Google, led three national online safety campaigns, and was instrumental in drafting and passing Utah's App Store Accountability Act. She serves as President of the Digital Childhood Institute, Distinguished Fellow at the National Center on Sexual Exploitation, and Senior Fellow at the Family Policy Alliance. Topics discussed include app store accountability, age verification v identity verification, social media bans for under-16s, and is it just up to parents to do their job better OR does Big Tech need to be held much more accountable.
