She reveals how smartphones and corporate social media algorithms have intruded upon every age-old human experience\u2014from a girl&#8217;s first crush to her first heartbreak\u2014turning young women into commercial products constantly marketing themselves online just to feel visible and loved.<\/p>\n<p>Freya also delivers counter-cultural critique of modern liberalism. She explains how the mainstream narrative has branded normal human desires\u2014like wanting a stable marriage, a family, or looking to religion\u2014as &quot;old-fashioned&quot; or &quot;reactionary.&quot; By doing so, liberal culture has stripped an entire generation of the vocabulary they need to express the deep pain, anxiety, and isolation they are feeling from modern dating and family breakdown.<\/p>\n<p>#onlinesafety #womenssafety #girlssafety #gbnoriginals <\/p>\n<p>Keep up to date with GB News at gbnews.com or on X @GBNEWS<\/p>\n<p>Become a Friend of GB News: gbnews.com\/friend<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Go to http:\/\/www.expressvpn.com\/GBNews to get 75% off ExpressVPN.
