This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Abandon all of these platforms and any others that associate in any way with Palantir or Thiel
If people cared about "the children" they wouldn't let them on the Internet until they were 21.
If people cared about humanity they wouldn't allow "the algorithms" to exist or let social media or news media exist they way it does now.
I don’t think that’s the solution though, kids (including teens to some extent) can be on the internet but it requires better parenting. It’s better to monitor what they are doing online until they are like 15 or 16, maybe 17 if you have a really good reason too. Limit screen time, be around to answer questions your kid has about what they might see.
Little kids though? Absolutely should be off the internet. Anyone under 10 shouldn’t be on the internet period in my opinion. 10-12 is kinda a gray zone to me where it’s definitely up to the parents and if they think their child is ready.
Also since they weren’t allowed on the internet till they were 21, those 21 year olds won’t know how to act on the internet. So now there’s 21 year olds roaming around who will need to figure all that shit out. They might get other aspects of being an adult but the internet will be completely alien.
It’s like when I saw people saying kids shouldn’t be allowed into the grocery store because someone was annoyed that kids didn’t know how to behave there yet. You just create a new and larger problem where adults don’t know how to act.
It is far more complicated. The brain develops slowly while social media provides constant dopamine hits leading to doom scrolling and the part of the brain that is tasked with hitting the brakes is just not there
Yes social media is a problem, however that alone does not justify banning everyone under 21 from using the entire internet. As the person who I replied to said they wanted.
Social media is its own problem that’s needs regulations to come under control.
FUCK THE SYSTEM!
With the unlubed, thorny, gritty, legendary dildo of consequences!
And a squirt of lemon
That is so strange.
Thats going to finally break my reddit addition, and ill bet any amount of money im not alone.
the API fiasco forced me off, so im glad I had a 2 year start on federation
go through and edit your comments to be gibberish before you delete your acccount
They'll undo it. Go look at mine that shouldn't exist.
Mine stayed
Or subtlely wrong just to break the AI that's lining Spez' pockets.
My kid wants to be verified on Roblox sooooooo bad so he can defend himself against trolls. It’s actually been a good lesson in ignoring those idiots like water off a ducks back.
Why would you let him interact with randoms?
Like. "Trolls" are the least of your worries here.
Right... It's like letting you kid run around times square in the 70/80s with no guardian.
The parents probably post their photos on FB and social media too.
You don't understand, he said not to go anywhere with anyone... Unless they're nice
/s
when are they rolling that shit out on AI-slop-CSAM-central aka twitter?
I guess I'm compelled not to use Roblox, Reddit or Discord, then.
for Roblox, at least, you're not missing out. If I wanted to get fleeced by a bunch of pedophiles and bigots, I'd check out the next RNC gathering.
Over my dead body. These services can go fuck themselves and die.
