Regulate companies, not people. Outlaw addictive feeds, tax child based data at confiscatory rates

I study media effects as my job, and these bans make me insane. It’s very blatant that they’re putting these in place because they’re afraid to meaningfully regulate social media and other attention platforms.

This is Soooo spot on. This is the most comprehensive nuanced take on this issue that I could ever hope to read. Thank you so much for your eloquence.

Instead of regulating companies they chose to regulate people

This is the most out of touch, chronically online, irresponsible take on this ban. Thanks for some of the meme content but this was my last straw had to unfollow. As someone with no children yourself you clearly know nothing and don’t even bother to investigate what exactly has been going on with kids and the influence of social media/ access to all sorts of websites. Fucking under 16 you talking about god given rights to democracy? How out of touch can one be? Do you know how you g these boys are becoming corn addicts? You know how extreme abuse and violence against women and girls have not just spiked but the age has been significantly lowering? You know how many heavily funded agencies have been targeting preteens to gamble? I want my daughter to stop being called a b*tch or h*e, and constantly hearing about Andrew Tate and grape jokes at school by 13yos, but I guess that doesn’t matter because we just have to defend 12yos unrestricted access to unregulated information and media huh. Freedom is just fucking aesthetics to you people now. Fucking unbelievable.

From what I’ve seen from Australia these bans don’t work but it will make everything worse 😭

I think it’s so weird to take the PEOPLE out of SOCIAL media, not the harmful content.

Power needs to be delegated to parents! government should enforce a rock sold app like family link, but a government one, that gives parents control, and help them secure their digital life.
