The Zombie Scroll: Inside the Addiction Machine

As Meta faces a landmark courtroom battle, I reveal exclusive reporting from Silicon Valley, a tech-addiction clinic & schools where even tech executives ban smartphones + practical steps you can take

This week’s World Briefing Plus goes far beyond the headlines - and some of what you’re about to hear may genuinely surprise you.

As parents take Meta to court in California, accusing the tech giant of designing apps to hook children, I revisit reporting I carried out just before COVID while researching smartphone and social-media addiction.

I travelled extensively, interviewed insiders in Silicon Valley, visited a tech-addiction treatment centre outside Seattle, and reported from a school near Silicon Valley where smartphones are banned - including for the children of tech executives themselves.

Much of this material has never been published or discussed publicly.

In this special edition, I connect the dots - and share practical, everyday strategies to help you reclaim attention and control in a world built around the scroll.
