Understanding Our Digital Footprint | Marc Groman on Online Privacy for Kids

Modern Dadhood | Unpacking Fatherhood + Parenting for Dads (and Moms!)

Jul 7 2023 • 46 mins

One of the most important things we must drive home to our children before putting a device in their hand, according to Privacy Professional Marc Groman, is that what they share on the internet should be treated as public and permanent... even if they only intend for one person to see it. Groman, who served in the Obama administration as chair of the Federal Privacy Council and Senior Advisor for Privacy in the White House, joins us to discuss kids and online privacy. This is part 2 of a 2 part episode.

Episode 88 of Modern Dadhood opens with the guys catching up about their recent outing to Boston to see recent guest Dustin Nickerson perform, and a chat about sexting before they pick up with part 2 of a conversation about privacy, social media, and digital footprints with Privacy Professional Marc Groman. Topics of conversation include:

•  The surprising responses from people over 20 when asked about their first devices
•  The responsibility of parents AND industry to teach privacy protection
•  Privacy protection legislation currently being developed by Marc and others
•  Privacy concerns with online gaming
•  The "wrong question" most parents ask about devices and screen time
•  How AI forces us to recalibrate our "bullshit meters"
•  And more!

Stick around until the end for a new installment of "Instant Regrets!"
