Back to School Cool with Special Guest Thordis Elva

Jann, Caitlin, and Sarah invite Thordis to recap her experience at the couple’s wedding, but also to discuss the recent Meta settlement as a leader in digital safety. 

Jann and Thordis reflect on their transition into married life, discussing the public and private aspects of their lives, particularly regarding their wedding coverage in media. 

Thordis walks us through the $18 billion Meta settlement, discussing its implications for social media platforms and child safety. They touch on the profound impact of algorithmic feeds on society, particularly concerning youth and mental health. They explore the differences between chronological and algorithmic feeds, the consequences of addictive products like those from Meta, and the importance of parental controls and societal awareness in protecting children. 

The crew wraps up with some listener voicenotes!
