Social Media Is Getting Dangerous (2026)
Social media in 2026 isn’t just “fun content” anymore — it’s shaping what people believe, how they behave, and what kids are exposed to. In this episode, we unpack why harmless posts explode, why real news gets ignored, and what governments (and parents) can realistically do.
Host Jim is joined by Shaliza Bacchus to break down the good, the bad, and the truly ugly side of modern platforms — from bots and deepfakes to youth mental health and gambling ads.
In this episode, we cover:
• Why TikTok/feeds feel like they “read your mind” (and what that does to behavior)
• How bots, troll farms, and comment spirals hijack normal conversations
• Deepfakes + fake news: why even “verified-looking” content fools people
• Youth exposure: dieting/beauty algorithms, violence loops, and mental health fallout
• What realistic restrictions could look like in Canada (and who would enforce them)
