EndedDocumentary show

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.

Hosted by 7NEWS Spotlight's Michael Usher and Sarah Greenhalgh, the interview series offers practical tips for keeping children safe online. It also features Wayne Holdsworth, who shares the heartbreaking story of losing his son, Mac, to suicide after he was targeted online via Instagram.

Storage Wars

Storage Wars follows professional buyers and their teams as they scour repossessed storage units in search of hidden treasure. Part gamblers, part detectives, these auction pros have found everything from coffins to the world's most valuable comic book collection, paying as little as ten dollars for items valued in the millions.

Each episode of Storage Wars follows a group of bidders as they get a quick peek inside the units, aided only by the beam of a flashlight. They then must assess on the spot if the unit is worth a bid and how high they will actually go to grasp the gold. The high-stakes fun begins as we see if the resulting buy is full of mostly trash... or true treasure.
