I think I would rather people choose to turn off their notifications, and uninstall social media rather than government intervention.
It's a lot of work though. I recently did a factory reset of an Android tablet and, wow, it's quite a lot of work to get it to shut up.
I also religiously disable any notifications on windows as well, but Microsoft have been making them a mandatory feature of some applications. Snip and Sketch for example requires you to click on the notification if you want to get to the Sketch part. I much prefer the old way. (It also had less annoying animation)
- civilized 3y agoI only allow push notifications for messages from loved ones. For any other app, the moment it sends me a notification it gets banned from pushing anything ever.
- robertlagrant 3y agoI don't have Facebook or Twitter installed any more (and never had Instagram or TikTok - I'm too old). I log on to their websites on my phone if I want to see something. It's a good amount of friction.
