Mark Zuckerberg originally created Facebook to connect the world, but many now question whether the apps under the social media platform's parent company Meta, including Instagram, are causing more harm than good.

This eye-opening seven-part 7NEWS documentary vodcast and podcast interview series coming exclusively to 7NEWS.com.au and 7plus,dives deep into the profound impact of Meta's platforms on our lives and society, examining whether we are facing genuine threats to our children and communities, rather than just moral panic.

Featuring insights from whistleblowers, insiders and researchers – including Meta whistleblower and former Facebook engineering director Arturo Bejar, News Corp Australia Executive Chairman Michael Miller, cybercrime analyst Paul Raffile, leading disinformation researcher Joan Donovan, and social media reform advocate Nicki Reisberg – the series sheds light on the true motivations and methods behind the tech giant's operations.

Beyond the Gates

Beyond the Gates is set in a leafy Maryland suburb just outside of Washington D.C., and in one the most affluent African American counties in the United States. Here you'll find a posh gated community with winding tree-lined streets and luxurious mansions to call home. At the center of this community are the Duprees, a powerful and prestigious multi-generational family that is the very definition of Black royalty. But behind these pristine walls and lush, manicured gardens are juicy secrets and scandals waiting to be uncovered. And those that live outside these gates are watching closely. These are the places where our characters live, love, work and play. Those who have "made it" and those who haven't are all trying to navigate life … and some with more grace than others.
