Apple and Google warn teens of nudity in messages, but their tools are easy to bypass and fail to truly prevent digital sexual harm or support victims.

Google's AI chatbot Gemini is now accessible to kids under 13 by default, raising safety concerns and putting responsibility on parents after the fact.

Teens aren’t tech-zombies—they want guidance, not bans. They’re using tech thoughtfully and ask adults to engage, not judge, in their onlife journey.

AI is reshaping education—used thoughtfully, it can enhance learning, not replace teachers. Critical thinking and ethical use must stay central.

AI already scans our photos for ads and services—why not use it to detect child sexual abuse material, with strict safeguards, to protect kids from harm?

Teens now use Microsoft Teams, Google Docs, and encrypted apps like Telegram as social media to bypass restrictions and maintain private digital spaces.

Today’s youth are tech-savvy, but true intelligence comes from guiding them to use tech critically—for deeper thinking, not just quicker answers.

Google isn’t built for kids—use safer search engines like Kiddle or WackySafe, enable controls, and guide young users through online experiences.

History shows abstinence-only approaches fail. For teens & tech, harm reduction, digital literacy, and guidance work better than bans or delays.

Evidence shows school phone bans don't improve well-being. Balanced policies, not outright bans, better support student safety, learning, and mental health.

The Wisephone is a minimalist, sandboxed smartphone ideal as a child’s first phone—no social media, no browser, fully parent-controlled and distraction-free.

Teens love social media for entertainment, connection, and self-expression. It's not good or bad—like a hammer, it's all in how it's used. Balance is key.
