    The ‘Freezer Spell’ Trend & A Lethal Sex Act

    It took $18 billion to get kids off instagram. Meta has agreed to pay the landmark sum to make social media safer. Mia breaks down what’s actually changing, whether it will actually help, or whether we’re all too addicted. Plus, Mia and Nicole Kidman have something surprisingly specific in common. There’s a “freezer spell” trend taking over group chats, is it setting a boundary… or just a very cold way of avoiding a difficult conversation? A tragic death has prompted a deeply uncomfortable conversation about sex, consent and what young people now consider normal. Amelia looks at why sexual choking has become so widespread among young people and why experts say that consenting to something doesn’t necessarily make it safe.
