• Childhood 2.0: https://www.childhood2movie.com/ Bark is great, and they have produced a wonderful documentary called Childhood 2.0, available on YouTube.
• Sameer Hinduja: If you google “Transparency Report” and the name of an app – if they have such a report, it will turn up (and more companies are releasing this) – those reports give you numbers related to problematic content, manual takedowns, automatic (algorithmic-based) takedowns, etc. (Caveat From Sarah T. Roberts (UCLA//C2i2): Firms’ transparency reports are self-reported.)
