Kernel-Level Protection: How Chirp is Stopping Online Predators in Their Tracks

Just one day after Australia passed a groundbreaking policy to ban under-16s from using social media, our guest is Rena Maycock, founder of Chirp; tech that aims to keep children safe online.

Rena describes the inadequacies of current parental control apps and how Chirp's innovative kernel-level technology is revolutionizing child protection online. She explains how Chirp can intercept and block harmful content in encrypted messaging apps, addressing a critical technology gap in child safety.

Rena also shares her insights on balancing child safety with privacy, emphasizing the importance of a collaborative approach between parents and children. She critiques the current regulatory landscape, advocating for stricter regulations and effective age verification to ensure tech platforms take responsibility for protecting young users. Listen to learn how Chirp is leading the charge in making the internet a safer place for children.
