About Us
We keep kids safe online.
The world of social media and artificial intelligence is changing rapidly, making it more important than ever to stay informed. Whether you need online safety and digital citizenship education for students and parents, AI training for staff, technology policy development, or guidance for removing phones from classrooms, we are here to assist.
Since Founding Safe Social Network in 2018, Ben Tracy has spoken to hundreds of thousands of students, parents, and educators in more than 40 states. In 2024, Ben accomplished something fewer than 400 people have ever achieved. He ran across America - 120 marathons and 3,125 total miles from coast to coast - to call attention to the dangers facing children online. In addition to running, Ben presented more than 50 times along the way and interviewed 10 families who lost children to social media related-harms.
Rooted in his personal story of losing a job due to social media posts he made as a teenager, Ben’s presentations offer powerful, real-world lessons about navigating life in the digital age and overcoming adversity. He addresses issues such as cyberbullying, online predators, the link between social media and mental health, counterfeit and fentanyl-laced drugs being sold on social media, and provides practical strategies to keep kids safe.
We go the extra mile to keep kids safe online.
