Inside the Algorithm: Understanding What Your Child Sees
Decode the invisible systems that shape your child's online world
How TikTok, YouTube and Instagram decide what your child sees. Spot algorithmic pressure before it shapes their identity.
Every time your child opens TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, or Snapchat, an algorithm decides what they see next. These invisible systems learn from every tap, scroll, and pause — building a profile of your child that grows more powerful by the day. This intermediate course pulls back the curtain on recommendation algorithms, showing you exactly how they work, why they amplify harmful content, and what you can do to protect your family. You'll leave with practical tools to reclaim control over your child's digital diet.
