Social Media and Gaming Litigation Companies:
Bruster: Law with A Higher Purpose
Reporting with a Purpose
Wall Street Journal's Julie Jargon- consistent weekly articles, videos, and change-making investigative reporting about the harms of media and children
****SHAME ON*****
National PTA
Change.Org - Speak up Against the National PTA using TikTok and Discord to give internet safety presentations and not disclosing where $2M funds are allocated and for what purpose, when TikTok is the source of many negative behavior challenges and culture of disrespect that schools struggle with on a daily basis. This wolf in sheep's clothing technique should not be condoned with TikTok pretending to help schools and promote positive media use.
Boston Children's "Digital Wellness Lab"
Sponsored by Meta and TikTok, the Digital Wellness Lab should not be affiliated with Boston Children's Hospital and gives consistent misinformation about the risks of social media and gaming, downplaying the seriousness of media harm with questionable polls of uninformed parents using self-collected statistics to support their claims. Speak up against industry articles that look to them as a source of information on how to guide medical professionals.
