Summary

Titania Jordan and Chris McKenna

"What if we cared as much about the safety of our young people in digital spaces as much as we did in physical spaces." - Chris McKenna. The internet world in relatively new realm in which prying eyes can weave their way into our children's lives even more so than in the physical world. We care so much about who our children hang out with, where they're at on the playground, what time they say they'll be home. Yet, when it comes to technology, there are very little rules put into place that will protect them from online predators who have nothing but evil intentions.

Chris McKenna, former middle school youth pastor turned business owner, noticed this trend of outdated internet laws for protecting kids and decided to take matters into his own hands. He started the company, Protect Young Eyes, as an online program where parents could ask questions about technology and Chris would educate them on the dangers of the internet. Protect Young Eyes came up with an app as a "pandemic proof" way of presenting this information virtually instead of holding live presentations.

Titania Jordan is the Chief Parenting Officer for a tech company called Bark, which is a company that alerts parents when there are signs of any malicious content on a child's phone or device. The app protects against cyberbullying, thoughts of suicide, sexual content, potential drug use, online predation, and more. Bark does this by using artificial intelligence and machine learning to alert you of an issue instead of mirroring everything on your child's phone.
