Ep. 203 | Is Posting Kid Pics Online a Bad Idea (Collective Shrug)?

Dr. Elaine Kasket is a cyberpsychologist whose private practice & daily life frequently puts her at the intersection of technology & psychology. She’s ALSO an American Mom living in the UK, who wants nothing more than to display her own pride in her child & stay in touch with stateside relatives. In this episode, we talk about sharenting: the impact of curated personas, parasocial relationships & learned helplessness. She shares shocking data about where the majority of paedo content is sourced from, why your child’s online data cache is being purchased by health insurance companies & why having a private account may not be enough.
