I, Homero Damascena, conducted a brief investigation into the hidden dangers of social media, revealing an intriguing contrast between content policies adopted in China and other parts of the world. Enlisting the collaboration of two friends residing in China, we conducted research on content prohibited for minors on two Chinese platforms also available in the United States and Brazil.

Surprisingly, the results revealed a striking discrepancy: while I found what I was looking for in the US and Brazil, in China, there was a prevalence of content focused on education and reverence for parents. This phenomenon sparked profound reflection: does this disparity reflect a Chinese strategy to disadvantage the intellectual development of children in other countries while strengthening family and educational bonds in their own territory?Amidst this revelation, the essence of this best-selling book was born, an in-depth exploration of the inherent dangers of social media and the different approaches adopted globally.
