6 minutes | Thursday, 25 July 2024

Fiona Jennings from the ISPCC speaks to Trina Mara about the "aggro-rithm", which refers to the toxic content that kids, in particular boys, have pushed on them via recommendation systems on social media platforms. 
Research shows boys aged 11-14 are exposed to harmful content within 30 minutes of being online and 1-in-10 are seeing it in little as 60 seconds.
