Hey y'all!

It is still October and a few days before I publish my #halloween short story with ghosts in Florence and all sorts of Halloweenish stuff... 🎃 so stay tuned in for that treat ( or trick? 👻 ) ... until then we can still talk about #cyberawarenessmonth or whatever #cybersecurity lead-gen rockstars and gurus (🙄) are spinning this excuse to market their product anyways....

A few days ago I published my conversation with Cybersecurity expert Jacqueline Jayne (JJ) where we spoke about her presentation at #cyberconmelbourne with the Australian Information Security Association (AISA) titled: Beyond Blame: Navigating the Digital World with Our #Kids.

It is about why #parenting in the digital age requires more than tech skills—and what really keeps #kidssafeonline.

🎯 As Australia prepares to ban social media for under 16s (December 10, 2025), JJ discusses why restriction isn't education and how parents can actually protect their children in a connected world.

KEY TOPICS COVERED:

The hidden language of emojis and what parents miss

Why cybersecurity professionals struggle to protect their own kids

Moving beyond blame in digital safety conversations

Practical conversation starters for different age groups

The impact of Netflix's "Adolescence" series on the debate

Australia's social media ban: what it means for families

How #gaming, #socialmedia, and #digitalliteracy intersect

Beyond Blame: Navigating the Digital World with Our Kids - Interview with Jacqueline (JJ) Jayne | AISA CyberCon Melbourne 2025 Coverage | On Location with Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli | Redefining Society and Technology Podcast

There's something fundamentally broken in how we approach online safety for young people. We're quick to point fingers—at tech companies, at schools, at kids themselves—but Jacqueline Jayne (JJ) wants to change that conversation entirely.
