The Crew Puts Parental Responsibility At The Center Of The Social-Media Argument

from Kayal and Company

We open the hour with the landmark Meta child-safety case and former safety engineer Arturo Béjar’s testimony that company leaders know about harmful material reaching children. We push hard on the central question: when a platform is built to keep people coming back, how much responsibility belongs to the company and how much belongs to parents? The crew gets into parental controls, two-hour phone limits, social-media challenges, endless short-video feeds, and why solitary scrolling is different from the shared television habits of our childhoods. After the break, we revisit the data-center fight before turning to former CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin. Her candid personal writing brings her 2017 clash with Clay Travis back into the conversation, and we question whether the new material is honest self-expression or attention-seeking. Then we get Trump’s planned sit-down with Michael Cohen, his former lawyer and longtime critic, and compare the reunion to the kind of adversary comeback that would fit perfectly in pro wrestling. Rich Zeoli joins us late in the hour and makes the case for local control over data-center projects rather than a blanket statewide answer.
