Roblox, Meta, and Apple Aren’t Protecting Kids and They Know It | Nicki Petrossi | Episode 64

Nicki Petrossi (from Scrolling2Death) joins Haley to discuss big tech, social media, and protecting our kids online. They talk about the need for these companies to do MORE while also calling on parents to learn about the devices and apps their kids are using. Some of these apps look incredibly kid-friendly but have virtually no meaningful protections between young kids and predatory adults.

Roblox is a great example of this, and Haley and Nicki dive into the details behind this popular game platform. They also highlight the importance of whistleblowers at companies like Meta to reveal the truth of what’s going on behind the scenes and how these corporations are prioritizing profit over people.

Conditioned Arousal: What Experiments Reveal About Porn’s Influence on Desire

Back in the 1960s, researchers conducted an experiment that conditioned male participants to become sexually aroused by a pair of black, knee-length women’s boots. Subjects of the experiment were shown an image of the boots for 15 seconds, followed by several images of nude women for 30 seconds each. By the conclusion of the experiment, the participants had been conditioned to be sexually aroused by the pair of boots, as they associated the boots with the images of nude women. 

Why does this matter? These experiments show us that our sexual arousal template can be influenced and changed by what we are exposed to. 

Given this, it should come as no surprise that research has also found exposure to pornography can shape what causes a person to become sexually aroused. And in a time where pornography is predominantly violent, degrading, and even illegal, this poses a grave threat to those who are most often victimized in pornography: women and children.
