In an increasingly digital world, access to social platforms and the internet is no longer just a convenience. It’s a necessity. Business owners of companies of every size in our state’s diverse economy rely on digital marketing tools to reach the audiences they need to keep their doors open. For small business owners, in particular, this ability to post and share content with their customers is often vital. Therefore, as our country continues to have conversations around new top-down federal guardrails for children, it is evident we must walk a fine line.
I’ve spoken in public and written about my mental health. I find that after I do so, people share their stories. Such stories are widespread. Years ago, I never thought much about mental health.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu commented a week or so ago: “We will do to Lebanon what we did to Gaza.”
In today’s disinformation landscape, Black women aren’t just caught in the crossfire — we’re the bullseye. As a Black woman immersed in politics, I’ve seen the onslaught of lies, doctored images, and malicious rumors aimed at dismantling our leadership and eroding our voting power.

Young people play games on the internet, seek dates on the internet, watch catfights and booty videos on the internet, and they parrot and rubber-stamp wicked, devilish, and misinformative posts and messages on the internet placed on the internet by right-wing nationalists, supremacists, and oppressors of Black and African people.
There is a large and corrosive gap between a heuristic–a profiling tip that indicates something or someone may need to be observed for possible misconduct–and stereotyping–deciding that someone is undesirable and is going to commit unwanted actions because of their identity. A man walks into a crowd at a speech and he’s scowling, possibly fingering a knife in its case–the idea that this man should be observed is based on logic fed by hints from similar past situations–a heuristic that is a shortcut and an efficient mental process that narrows the odds of error. Stereotyping increases the chances for mistakes.
