isn't Facebook for 13+ teens? Did they change the terms recently? And where are the parents? Do you just hand your kid phone without any parental controls? Why

isn't Facebook for 13+ teens? Did they change the terms recently? And where are the parents? Do you just hand your kid phone without any parental controls? Why should we not focus educating parents about raising kids than fucking over with everyone?

Monday parents are not capable od seeing up parental controls, and I don't think we will see that change in the next 10 years even if we direct quite a lot of effort to the matter

  so by putting everyone at risk with really minimal security looking at conviction rate and who really are sexually abusing the kids (hint, it's not a rando on the internet) is a better alternative to a long term advantage of having better highly educated parents that will stop cycle of mismanagement across generation like how abuse spreads from one generation to another. Principles and behavior do too. Why not ask politicians to put forward regulations that makes it mandatory for companies to make parental control accessible and usable? But of course that won't do. Parents should have no responsibility beyond giving the kid an iPad or a smart surveillance device.

this exists, and already comes with some parental controls. And you don't need a Facebook account to use FB messenger. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.facebook.talk https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.facebook.t...

  Not available where I live but yeah, snapchat has a similar app. I think there needs to be an open source federated social media with stricter controls and from a more trustworthy actor than Facebook that you can self host or schools can. So you can connect with your friends and classmates from school via federated link to your home one. Every link will require approval. Though that seems like a pipe dream.
