When Big Tech CEOs speak, they don’t shout, they soothe. They turn risk into “connection,” danger into “innovation,” and reframe your fear as nostalgia, convincing you that a child’s time on an unregulated platform is just like your rainy-day phone calls as a kid.
The real trick? They don’t have to convince you directly.
They’ve already convinced many cyber safety educators, flown in, funded, and fed the same engineered reassurance until they repeat it as truth. It’s not a lie. It’s NLP designed to make you stop asking questions. And it works unless you know how to hear what they’re not saying.
We need to be teaching how to hear between the lines.
