A big step forward for digital safety in Florida! Liz recently spent time with the Diocese of Venice as they launched their new Student Digital Leadership Council, giving middle school students the opportunity to become leaders and advocates for safer digital spaces.

Through this program, students will learn more about the risks of being online and help bring awareness to their peers. It’s also the next step in the Safe Environment work CSC has been implementing across Florida over the past several years.

We’re excited to see these students take the lead! What do you think is the biggest challenge students face online today? Let us know in the comments.

Meta has reached a landmark settlement worth up to $17.1 billion over claims involving the impact of its social media platforms on young users.

But the financial settlement may not be the biggest part of the story.

The agreement would also require sweeping changes to how Instagram and Facebook protect children and teens, including limits on minors’ use, stronger age assurance, restrictions on certain notifications and more options around algorithmic feeds.

With similar lawsuits and investigations involving other social media companies, this case could influence how platforms approach youth safety and digital wellness moving forward.

Do you think social media companies should be held legally responsible for how their platforms are designed for young users?

Silicon Valley builds the technology we use every day, but some of the people behind it are surprisingly cautious about letting their own kids use it.

From limiting screen time to prioritizing outdoor play and face to face interaction, some tech families are choosing a much lower tech childhood.

So what does that say about the technology they’re creating? 👀

It’s not about keeping kids away from tech completely. It’s about being intentional about how, when and why they use it.

Would you be more cautious about your child’s screen time if you knew how tech products were designed? 📱

A recent Washington Times article explored the growing trend of young adults spending more weekends at home and the connection between screen time and loneliness.

Cyber Safety Consulting’s Director of Education, Allison Bonacci, shared an important reminder about the need for more “third spaces” where people can gather, connect, and spend time together without screens being the focus.

Connection can happen anywhere. A park, library, community center, sports league, volunteer opportunity, or even a neighborhood gathering can create meaningful opportunities to be together.

Parents, what has helped your family create more opportunities for face to face connection? Share your ideas below! 👇

Scammers don’t always hack your account, they trick you into giving them your money.

A common Venmo scam starts when someone “accidentally” sends you money and asks you to send it back. It seems harmless, but the original payment may have been made with a stolen credit card or hacked account. Once that payment is reversed, the money you sent back comes out of your own account.

Before sending money to anyone:
• Don’t return unexpected payments directly.
• Contact Venmo Support if you receive money you weren’t expecting.
• Only send money to people you know and trust.
• Take a moment to verify before acting, scammers rely on urgency.

A few extra seconds of caution can save you from losing hundreds of dollars.

Week 2 of our Summer Screen-Time Challenge is here.

This week’s challenge focuses on creating screen-free zones to reduce mindless device use and encourage more meaningful family time.

Choose at least two screen-free zones this week:
• No phones during meals
• No screens in bedrooms
• No devices during car rides under 30 minutes
• One screen-free hour each evening
• Leave phones in a basket during family activities

Remember, the goal isn’t to eliminate technology, it’s to create intentional moments for connection. Small changes can make a big difference.

As a bonus, take a family photo during a screen-free activity and talk about how it felt to be fully present.

Let us know which screen-free zones your family is trying this week.

France has become the first European Union country to approve a nationwide ban on social media for children under 15, reigniting an important conversation about how we protect young people online.

While age restrictions may help reduce certain risks, they’re only one piece of the puzzle.

Creating safer digital spaces also requires digital literacy, open conversations, and collaboration between parents, educators, technology companies, and policymakers.

There isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution—but one thing is clear: online safety is everyone’s responsibility.

Swipe through to learn more about what this decision could mean and why it’s generating discussion around the world.

What are your thoughts? Should more countries consider similar restrictions, or should the focus be on education and digital citizenship?
