Enmaeya Explains is a new segment where we dive into a variety of topics shaping our world today. Each episode focuses on a topic that matters, explaining key facts, insights, and perspectives to make complex information easier to grasp and more relevant to everyday life.
As concerns around children’s online safety continue to grow, this explainer episode opens a critical conversation on cybersecurity and the evolving risks young people face in an increasingly connected world. As technology becomes embedded in daily life, many parents remain unaware of how vulnerable their children may be online, from oversharing personal information to engaging with platforms that blur the boundaries between privacy and exposure.
In this episode, Tala Zein unpacks the hidden dimensions of digital platforms and artificial intelligence, explaining how chatbots and social media applications can create a false sense of safety. She reflects on how teenagers increasingly turn to online spaces as sources of comfort, advice, and validation, often without understanding how their data is processed or how easily their digital footprint can be traced.
The conversation explores key cybersecurity principles every parent should understand, including digital literacy, privacy settings, location tracking risks, and the psychological impact of screen-based interactions. By grounding complex technological realities in clear, accessible language, the episode aims to bridge the knowledge gap between generations and equip families with practical awareness tools.
Through this initiative, Enmaeya seeks to promote informed dialogue around digital safety, positioning parental guidance, education, and proactive protection not as optional measures, but as essential safeguards in the age of AI and social media.
