Consider This: Teens, Tech & Trust (Part 2) — Building Digital Resilience

In Malaysia, 75% of teenagers use social media daily—but with this constant connection comes a growing number of risks. A new report by the think tank SERI titled ‘Teens, Tech, and Trust’ reveals that fewer than half of Malaysian teens feel safe online— with cyberbullying, scams, and hacking being everyday realities. Meanwhile, questions are being raised about whether schools, parents, and even social media platforms are doing enough to protect our young digital citizens. On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Dr Benjamin Loh, senior lecturer at Taylor’s University School of Media and Communication and director of the Impact Lab for Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions.
