Our Battle for Online Safety & Morality w/ Imran Ahmed

Does it seem the whole world has lost its collective mind? We are a polarized country, for sure, but Imran Ahmed says fundamentally we are no different than we’ve ever been. It’s just that online social media and big tech are using behavioral psychology, mathematical algorithms, and the protection of current legislation to have their way with our heads and consequently, as evidenced by January 6th, our fists. Imran gives us practical ways to stop the madness and predicts new protective legislation for us and our kids is coming. //
