A parent advocate connects lived experience with the urgent need for safer platforms, meaningful accountability, and systems designed around children’s well-being.
August 21, 2026 · 2-part video series
From lived experience to public action
Kristin Bride brings a parent’s perspective to the consequences of platform design. Her advocacy asks families, technology companies, and policymakers to treat children’s online safety as a shared responsibility—not a problem each household must solve alone.
Her conversation keeps the human impact at the center while calling for durable changes that protect young people before harm occurs.
What meaningful accountability requires
- Age-appropriate defaults and safety features that are easy for families to understand.
- Greater transparency about known risks and how platforms respond to them.
- Consistent enforcement when products or practices put children in harm’s way.
- A meaningful role for parents and young people in shaping safer digital environments.
