The Pursuit of Manliness 232: Brent Dusing | CEO & President of TruPlay
On this week's PoM Podcast I sat down and spoke with Brent Dusing CEO and founder of the gaming platform TruPlay, Brent Dusing is a thought leader in the space of providing high-quality, fun and safe digital content that protects children from harmful and inappropriate content online.
Concerns about what children are exposed to online are nothing new, but new research by CyberSafeKids exposed alarming statistics that concern children online. 4,500 children aged between eight and 12 were asked about their internet safety habits and revealed that 31% of boys are playing over 18 online games and 87% of children reported having their own social media and/or instant messaging account, despite minimum age restrictions of 13 on all the most popular apps.
Other findings include:
· 64% of children said that they’d been contacted by a stranger in an online game
· 26% of children have seen or experienced something online in the last year that bothered them. 29% of those children kept it to themselves rather than reporting it to their parents or someone else
· 26% report that they have friends and followers that they don’t know offline
· 20% state that they have seen something online that they wouldn’t want their parents to know about.
