Perhaps we should also make it illegal to report on the war in the Middle East in case young people find it traumatising to see that that the western democracies are supporting dropping 2000 pound bombs on children in other countries. Can you image the damage being caused to young minds seeing that death and destruction visually through their own eyes ?
- discordance 2y agoThis is not about reporting or content. This is about the health outcomes of young people being negatively impacted by companies maximizing engagement metrics at all costs. Reporting on war happenings occurred before social media was around.
- hcfman 2y agoI'm referring to the ridiculous concern about young minds being exposed to one sort of content, yes it is about content, whilst another sort there's no concern about in the slightest. The choices are bizzare. I assume that discord channels relating to specific pieces of software will also not be allowed anyone under 16. So very clever young kids trying to build software will be disadvantaged now as well.
