Do you blame prostitutes when husbands cheat on their wives at a whorehouse too?
- Henchman21 2y agoIn America this is precisely what happens — blame falls on the woman
- sanderjd 2y agoNo, but I'm also not a die hard libertarian, so I'm open to arguments that 1. This is bad, and 2. There may be net positive policy interventions available. On prostitution, I'm a bit skeptical that the policy interventions over time have been net positive, but maybe they have. On social media, unfortunately I'm very skeptical of the proposed policy interventions, in general. But I'm convinced that the status quo is bad. But sometimes there just isn't a policy solution available that doesn't have tradeoffs that make it even worse than a bad status quo. It's still good to bring attention to the problems with that status quo, though. In the case of TikTok in particular, I think forcing divestment is a no-brainer, but for totally different reasons than what Haidt is writing about.
