The Conversation: 41% of surveyed Australian teens now get their news from AI: new research. “Since 2017, we have been tracking young people’s media engagement, to understand how they get their news. This time, we found some young people are bypassing traditional outlets, reducing their use of social media sources and getting their news from artificial intelligence (AI) summaries using […]

NPR: We tested how AI chatbots would handle foreign propaganda. They did surprisingly well. “Since AI chatbots exploded in popularity and Google started offering AI-generated answers, people who research foreign influence campaigns have expressed concern that some governments may poison AI-generated answers with false narratives. But an experiment NPR conducted with NewsGuard, a company that […]

The Conversation: Meta‑backed research finds exposure to ‘untrustworthy’ social media is rare. The fine print is less reassuring. “A new study published today in Science Advances offers the most rigorous answers yet. It comes from a collaboration between Meta and academic researchers who studied the 2020 United States election. It was run from inside the machine – on the live feeds of […]

CS Monitor: Why Greeks are going to TikTok for news instead of newspapers or TV. “Greeks don’t turn to traditional media for news; they go to TikTok, Instagram, and the like. That puts them at the forefront of how news consumption is trending globally – and makes them a lens on how the future of news might look.”

The Conversation: Want to be a better reader? Here’s how to practise active reading. “A 2024 survey of 500 influencers across 45 countries found that 62 per cent do not carry out rigorous fact-checking before sharing information. Navigating today’s digital information landscape, then, requires strong critical evaluation skills.Reading plays a central role in this process by serving not only […]

Union of Concerned Scientists: Your Anti-Disinformation Safety Chain for Danger Season. “We’re now officially in Danger Season 2026—the period between May and October when North America experiences its worst climate impacts—and we should expect disinformation to ramp up on social media and other platforms. It’s the time when maintaining what I call the ‘safety chain’ matters most.”

PsyPost: New research suggests truth has a natural competitive edge over misinformation. “Truthful messages are more persuasive and more likely to be shared than false ones, according to new research published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. The findings, drawn from four large experiments, challenge the widespread belief that misinformation naturally spreads more […]

The Conversation: It’s not just gen Z – older adults need help spotting online misinformation too. “In 2024, nine in ten people in the UK reported seeing misinformation on social media. Yet only 3% of the population had taken a media literacy course. While there is working being done to ensure technology is accessible, users must have the skills and confidence to recognise if they are being […]

Hey y'all!

It is still October and a few days before I publish my #halloween short story with ghosts in Florence and all sorts of Halloweenish stuff... 🎃 so stay tuned in for that treat ( or trick? 👻 ) ... until then we can still talk about #cyberawarenessmonth or whatever #cybersecurity lead-gen rockstars and gurus (🙄) are spinning this excuse to market their product anyways....

A few days ago I published my conversation with Cybersecurity expert Jacqueline Jayne (JJ) where we spoke about her presentation at #cyberconmelbourne with the Australian Information Security Association (AISA) titled: Beyond Blame: Navigating the Digital World with Our #Kids.

It is about why #parenting in the digital age requires more than tech skills—and what really keeps #kidssafeonline.

🎯 As Australia prepares to ban social media for under 16s (December 10, 2025), JJ discusses why restriction isn't education and how parents can actually protect their children in a connected world.

KEY TOPICS COVERED:

The hidden language of emojis and what parents miss

Why cybersecurity professionals struggle to protect their own kids

Moving beyond blame in digital safety conversations

Practical conversation starters for different age groups

The impact of Netflix's "Adolescence" series on the debate

Australia's social media ban: what it means for families

How #gaming, #socialmedia, and #digitalliteracy intersect

ABOUT JACQUELINE JAYNE (JJ): Jacqueline Jayne specializes in the human element of cybersecurity with nearly a decade of experience. Her focus on digital safety for families addresses the gap between technical knowledge and real-world parenting challenges.

As you probably know by now, Sean Martin, CISSP and I are not going to be in Melbourne for #CyberCon with the Australian Information Security Association (AISA) this year... which really sucks as we had a great time there in 2024 - We met amazing people, created great content, and truly miss sharing quality time with the #cybersecurity community Down Under!

But this isn't stopping us from being virtually there by reconnecting with friends and meeting new ones while covering the event remotely.

So here's my conversation with the one and only Jacqueline Jayne (JJ) talking about her upcoming session: "Beyond Blame: Keeping Our Kids Safe Online" at CyberCon Melbourne (October 15-17, 2025).

There's something fundamentally broken in how we approach online safety for young people. We're quick to point fingers—at tech companies, at schools, at kids themselves—but JJ wants to change that conversation entirely.
