Cutting kids off from the dark web – the solution can only ever be social
- api 3y agoI wouldn’t let my kids on the dark web, but honestly in terms of overall social harm addictive social media is far worse. I’m a bit on the fence as to whether a Tor onion browser would be more or less harmful than access to Instagram, unfiltered YouTube, or Tiktok. They’re more likely to find toxic horrors and crime on the dark web, but the socials are more mindless and addictive and probably harmful to mental health. Engagement driven social media is really horrible especially for kids.
- Nextgrid 3y ago> The National Crime Agency (NCA) issued a call on Thursday for parents and teachers to take a proactive role in educating young people about the dangers of engaging in cybercrime. I find it funny that they dare talk about the "dangers" when enforcement of not only cybercrime, but even meatspace petty crime such as shoplifting or phone theft is non-existent. But I guess it makes sense - after all, if enforcement was sufficient, it would be obvious and there would be no need for them to talk about it.
