Protect & Prevent - The Impact of Mass Audience Live Streaming and the Crime of Digital Exploitation

Many apps are classified as mass audience live streaming and that includes Discord, TikTok, Byte, Like, Snapchat and Instagram. In many of these apps you can create a live stream where you are in real time with your audience allowing for immediate engagement. A lot of the gaming platforms also allow for live interaction with the other players. In both cases you are exposed to thousands of individuals you probably don't know. The real challenge is to be able to define who is the good guy and who might bring you harm. Even more challenging is how can you tell who is who? If you have a million followers on TikTok, what percentage are potential pedophiles or organized criminals looking to blackmail you or your family members?

During this podcast, we explore the challenges of having young people online in a globally connected world using apps that connect with thousands of people. Understanding how all of this works and the possible risks when dealing with the crimes of sextortion and online exploitation is something every parent needs to understand.

We are working to educate you so that you can educate the next generation with a lasting impact on the generations to come. PLEASE LISTEN TO THE PODCAST AND SHARE WITH PARENTS & CAREGIVERS.
