The internet teaches kids to lie, says this tech CEO. He wants to change that

‘The first interaction that kids have online today’, says Kieran Donovan, ‘is to learn how to lie.’ In 2023, Donovan left a high-flying legal career to help make the internet a safer place for children wherever they are in the world. He co-founded k-ID - a company that gives online platforms the tools they need to adapt to users of any age, without having to shut young people out or dial down their online experiences. Here, he explains how his platform can help to build an age-appropriate internet - and how it’s already helping to keep kids safe in more than 200 jurisdictions worldwide.
