Social media and AI platforms are built to exploit your emotions. That's how they make money. Keeping you angry, anxious, and scrolling is good for their bottom line.
Your kids are not an exception – they're a target. Platforms push eating disorder content, suicide material, and explicit videos to minors, and they know it.

RESEARCH
We research platforms to expose Big Tech's failures. Our findings go directly into legislative hearings, regulatory proceedings, and online safety discussions.
When we collaborated with CNN’s investigative unit and found that 8 in 10 mainstream AI chatbots would help users plan school shootings and bombings, it made front page news. It reached Congress’ desk and lawmakers were appalled.
When Grok generated an estimated 3 million sexualized images in 11 days, including 23,000 of children, 48 cross-party UK MPs cited our research to demand urgent AI legislation.
When Meta was pocketing $14.3 million from Medicare scammers running deepfake Oprah ads at seniors, we documented it. Congress is paying attention.
All our research is designed to make it impossible for platforms and governments to say they didn't know.
CAMPAIGNS
We campaign for change. The next threat is already here: AI is changing what online harm looks like.
Platforms spent years amplifying outrage. Now AI tools are helping turn that outrage into action, generating deepfakes, facilitating harassment, and helping bad actors plan violence. Our kids’ safety is in the crossfire.
Our "Killer Apps" research on AI chatbots and violence made front pages worldwide and put AI harm on the legislative agenda. In Europe, we took our Grok findings to the streets to defend the right to research.
POLICY
We push for online safety regulation.
Our research and testimony helped shape the UK's Online Safety Act, one of the world's toughest platform accountability laws. We also pushed UK regulator Ofcom to take enforcement action against X for failing to protect users under the legislation.
In the US, our CEO testified in front of legislators showing why we must act now if we want to protect kids online. We've worked with legislators from both parties on Section 230 reform, and why it matters now.
