Wouldn’t it make a lot more sense to simply have parental education around the harms of social media for kids under age XYZ?
I mean, I’m all in favor of the goals of this bill. I think social media is a horrible negative for people of all ages, but especially children since they largely don’t have the mental capability to defend against the smartest people in the world trying to hijack their brains.
But I can’t see how a “social media” ban can actually work. And im not even sure it’s actually better than parental education and information.
- MrPatan 3y agoHow is parental education going for "don't do drugs" or "don't commit crimes"?
- hnlmorg 3y agoGenerally pretty well considering that those who you describe are a small subset of society. Though plenty of news networks would like to convince you otherwise because scare stories attract viewers more than “society is generally doing ok” style stories. I do take issues with the drug laws in a lot of countries though. They are, in part, based around marginalising individuals rather than protecting people from harm. But this is a whole other discussion.
- Mindwipe 3y agoBetter than banning them is.
- john_the_writer 3y agoMuch better than the "war on drugs".
