Our guest today Ian Russell, the leading campaigner for online safety for children.
Ian set up the Molly Rose foundation in 2017 after his beloved daughter Molly tragically took her own life. Molly, who was only fourteen-years-old at the time, had been constantly bombarded by social media algorithms consisting of harmful and horrifying content. Completely unbeknownst to her family, Molly had been sucked into a virtual world that glorified self-harm and suicide.
While trying to come to terms with the tragic loss of Molly, Ian decided to investigate how this tragedy could have occurred. His persistence led him to the realisation that some of the world largest technology and social media companies had to be held to account.
If you or your family engage with social media, this is a conversation that you need to hear. As Ian asks; “If we don't understand this new space we are co-living in, how can we use it responsibly and safely?”
