WHAT:
Brent Dusing, CEO and Founder of the Christian entertainment company, TruPlay, is available to speak into the dangers of children being exposed to sexual and inappropriate content and the need for safer and positive entertainment options.
Two recent stories highlight this problem:
Concerned parents are suing Roblox, a video game massively popular with children and young teens, over allegations of sexual content and grooming on its gaming platform, raising serious concerns about the safety of its young user base.
The Wall Street Journal investigated Instagram to determine what its Reels algorithm would recommend to test accounts set up to follow only young gymnasts, cheerleaders and other teen and preteen influencers active on the platform. Instagram’s system served shocking amounts obscene content to those test accounts, including risqué footage of children as well as overtly sexual adult videos—and ads for some of the biggest U.S. brands.
As a healthier and safer alternative for children, Dusing created an entertainment platform where parents don’t have to fear their children being exposed to this type of content. In TruPlay’s games, positive themes, values and biblical truth are told throughout the stories and dialogue in the games, comics and videos.
