While I agree that Facebook is lying, how come we want to hold Facebook accountable when it’s the parents who are being negligent? Giving your children privacy

While I agree that Facebook is lying, how come we want to hold Facebook accountable when it’s the parents who are being negligent? Giving your children privacy is important but that doesn’t mean you have to let them use social media or have no idea who they’re talking to. Talk to any kid on the internet today and they will tell you they encounter pedophiles, groomers, psychological torture, and bullying. Talk to the schools and they tell you all their issues (fights, bullying) arise from Facebook. You can control what apps your children use, technology is getting easier than ever and if you can afford their iphone, you can afford robust parental controls or at least time out of your day.
- nwah1 5y agoWe can't expect kids to win in a fight against trillion dollar conglomerates who want to create psychological addiction to their products, and we can't expect parents to effectively control their children at all waking moments. This is a proper domain for governmental regulation.
- rootsudo 5y agoThe parents are also addicted too, it's the same story as cigarettes. There's a reason why advertising is the same whether it'd be for Coca-Cola, Cigarettes or Social media. They don't know any better.
- risedotmoe 5y agoI agree with this.
