I always learn so much from @Zockmelon - Kristy is an absolute social media and public health guru and I've learned so much from her over the years!
Now hearing from @Zockmelon - on social media as both a tool and a setting. Has been working in this space for a decade. Now hard to imagine/remember the era before SM

However, new analysis found a quarter of sponsorships for the 2023 #StateofOrigin come from companies that profit from alcohol, gambling & unhealthy foods 🧵

We’ve launched a new #report – ‘Alcohol advertising on social media: a 1-year snapshot’
In collaboration with #researchers, the report reveals how alcohol companies ply our community with thousands of ads on our social media platforms.

Children shouldn’t be seeing alcohol & gambling ads on social media, yet it appears they are. Huge numbers of junk food ads are also troubling.
This needs to change.
Thanks to the public health & digital rights experts & people with lived experience who came to our roundtable.

I wish the same politicians who claim they did not know any better at the age of 21 took the same mindset to the 10-year-old children they seem to have no problem incarcerating because apparently at 10 you should know better. #raisetheage

Social media platforms continue to demonstrate that they will not implement effective measures to restrict or prevent advertising for harmful and addictive products. TikTok is the latest example, backtracking on policy to allow gambling ads on the platform abc.net.au/news/2022-11-07/t…

Social media platforms have created dark, data-driven, advertising models. They say they are committed to transparency about advertising, but their efforts fall far short. This makes it difficult to hold them accountable for harmful advertising practices. theconversation.com/how-dark…
