This reads like prepper content - there are many legitimately scary reasons to control kids' access to the Internet, and "kids might be targeted by ads" is on like page 83. Think like a security dev and focus on threat modeling, kids falling into the right-wing / white supremacy pipeline and being exposed to predatory adults online are far more worrying.
- lrvick 5y agoI had a private investigator for a father, was once a professional magician, and am currently a full time security engineer, so I am pretty sure I think like one. All of this exposure has convinced me it is generally easier to hack a human mind than a computer, and modern social media is designed to do exactly that. You spend a few extra seconds viewing a white supremacist rant by an uncle on Facebook, and next thing you know that is all you see... until your views start shifting in that direction before you even realize it. Dopamine optimized algorithims designed to put you in a false reality full of only content you are willing to engage with the most, is one of the most toxic and addictive propaganda tool humans have ever created... and it is sold to the highest bidder. Behavior changes as a service. It isn't on page 83 on my list. It is number one.
- anaisbetts 5y agoAren't we agreeing?
- lrvick 5y agoOn first and second read it sounded like you were saying it -should- be on page 83. My bad!
