The Dirty Secret of Social Media CEOs
In this episode, pastor Zach exposes the "dirty secret" of social media CEOs: they don't let their own children use the platforms they sell to the public. Drawing from a recent article in The Atlantic, Zach reveals how tech leaders like the CEOs of TikTok, Google, and Snapchat limit or completely ban their children's access to social media, despite promoting its benefits to the world. These CEOs understand the negative effects social media can have on kids, including increased anxiety, depression, and exposure to harmful content. Zach encourages Christian parents to follow the example set by these tech leaders, not their marketing messages, and protect their children from social media’s harmful impacts. He emphasizes that as parents, our responsibility is to create environments where our children can grow and flourish, accountable first to God, not societal pressure.
