What is your favorite social media platform and why? I like all of them. I think each platform has its own amazing and different audiences. Do you think social media is a blessing or a curse? I think it’s a blessing and it opens the world for people to learn and experience all different people and parts of the world. Have you ever been personally targeted with online abuse? Yes, I’m targeted several times a day, every single day. How does it make you feel and how do you deal with it? I’ve come to the point that I don’t let it get to me and I just block them. I literally have hundreds of t ..read more

It’s a Matter of When, Not If, We Teach Kids to Use AI
The Cybersmile Foundation
by CybersmileTeam
10M ago
AI stands for artificial intelligence. It can teach kids to plagiarize! It can make kids lazy! It can control kids’ actions and steal their identities! These concerns, valid though they may be, lead adults to feel that the only safe option is to hide AI from teenagers in an effort to protect their development, their morals, their very futures. And that isn’t going to work. AI is a tool, and like any tool it can damage and destroy. But it can also be used to build. To build safer transportation, to make communities more equitable, to build healthier societies. The people who will shepherd AI te ..read more

Our Social Experiment, What’s Our Responsibility?

I must confess, I have a love, not-so-in-love relationship with social media. For me, social media is something I’ve had to adapt to because it wasn’t around when I grew up. I’d meet up at the park with friends in the morning, play outside all day, and make my way home in the afternoon before the street lights began to flicker on. That’s what it meant to tap into my social network in my youth. And, when disagreements happened, you’d hash it out face to face, sleep on it and the next day the drama would seem like a distant memory. It never followed you home or resulted in catastrophic back-end ..read more

What is your favorite social media platform and why? I would say Instagram. I really love the community I’ve created on the platform and love being able to talk and interact with everyone. Do you think social media is a blessing or a curse? I think it is both. It is a blessing in which we can learn, educate ourselves and each other, bring awareness to many topics and share passions with people across the world. I think it’s a curse in which it has become a space that isn’t real. It is the highlight reel of anyone’s life so we feel we can’t share our true lives or selves without being judged o ..read more

Catching Up with Formula One Driver and Cybersmile Ambassador Nicholas Latifi to Discuss Life Online

What is your favorite social media platform and why? Instagram is great because of the immediacy of it. Pretty much wherever you are, it’s simple to put up a post or a story that captures the moment and everyone can see it in a flash. There’s always a high turnover of stories and news from people I follow, so I find it a good way to keep up with what’s going on. Do you think social media is a blessing or a curse? Used in the right way, social media is really beneficial. It allows people to keep in touch, stay connected and up-to-date with family and friends. It lets people like me communicate ..read more

What is your favorite social media platform and why? I don’t think I could definitively answer this question because they all serve a different purpose for me personally. In some moments where I’m feeling super creative, TikTok is my favorite, for sure! But, when I feel like I need interaction and connection then Instagram is my go-to favorite as I can engage much more with my community there! Do you think social media is a blessing or a curse? It is what you choose it to be… It can be a difficult place to be when you sit and compare yourself to others, but it is so easy to control your narrat ..read more

Lee’s own words describe her best; “I am a friend, a daughter, a listener, an adventure seeker. I love to learn, to grow, to laugh and to experience life to the fullest. I appreciate the little things and try not to take anything for granted. I am brave, I am strong and I am open to the world around me. Travel has helped me learn who I am and it has empowered me to be true to myself. Achievements don’t need to be solely on a large scale. I think achieving small changes in your life can have a great impact.” Lee was a prolific writer who kept many journals. It is our goal to continue her loving ..read more

Cybersmile Team Member Doctor Deborah Gilboa Discusses Resilience, Stress and the Importance of Kindness

In addition to being a Cybersmile board member and an experienced medical professional, you are also an expert in resilience and wellbeing. Could you tell us a bit more about this aspect of your work please? As a doctor, I see over and over the difference between managing illness and actually being well. The biggest source of ill health (physical and mental) is stress. But stress isn’t just unavoidable, it’s useful. Stress motivates us to push forward and builds mental health endurance in the same way that exercise builds body health and endurance. But stress (just like exercise) can easily ca ..read more

Catching Up with Liverpool and England Star Jordan Henderson to Discuss the Problem of Online Abuse
The Cybersmile Foundation
by CybersmileTeam

In the media there is a lot of conversation around the problem of online abuse and hate-speech within the football community – just how common and widespread is the problem of hate-speech and abuse?  I think I should start by saying that there is no place for any online abuse, regardless of whether it’s aimed at footballers or anyone else – even just one person getting abused online is one person too many so we know that it’s a wider problem than just the football community. As footballers, we know we’re in the public eye a great deal and therefore any abuse that comes in our direction is ..read more
