VIRTUAL EVENT: Beyond Censorship: How Social Media Harms Children and Families
Unfair and ideologically-driven censorship is not the only problem plaguing social media platforms. They are increasingly being shown to have harmful effects on our children and families, too. In this special online event from the Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC), EPPC Policy Analyst Clare Morell interviews EPPC Fellow Carl R. Trueman; Sean Clifford, CEO of Canopy; and Dr. Jimmy Myers, Founder, Co-Owner, and CEO of The Timothy Center, to discuss the effects of social media on children’s development and mental health, the dangerous growth of pornography on these platforms, and the broader consequences of social media on our families, relationships, and communities. The event will examine how to think about human flourishing in relation to social media and possible solutions for regulating these platforms to prevent harms to the common good.
