Beyond Big Tech: A Landmark Youth Movement to Thrive Online

Description:

Youth mental health is at a historical crisis point, but Big Tech companies continue to design products that leverage personal data and exploit young people more than ever. Accountability is long overdue. Young people are the biggest target audience for manipulative innovation and deceptive design, and are equally at the forefront of landmark tech policy and advocacy victories across the world. Hear from youth leaders about how their landmark efforts to reform Big Tech, regulate AI and transform digital environments will help keep our youngest and future generations safe and thriving online.
