Jo Frost: “I Was Bullied for 3 Years!” Her Breaking Point, and the 2026 Parenting Emergency
What was said
"In China, the children are watching something completely different. That's all censored. Those platforms are not existing. But in the UK and the USA, look at the stuff our children are exposed to. It's just a massive no-no."
Frost highlighted the stark contrast between content algorithms in China, which serve aspirational material to children, versus the UK and US, where youth face misogyny, body dysmorphia messaging, pornography, and dangerous challenges. She argued this demonstrates tech companies' ability to protect children when mandated, but they choose profit over safety in Western markets with billions in revenue.
