Children are sponges when it comes to learning.
The trick with propaganda is that it subconsciously affects your mind, to the point you won't realize until it is too late.
It is no secret why most FAANG are in advertising: Meta, Google, Netflix (movies and shows are just another form).
They are in the business of controlling your mind - doing this to children is immoral, especially when it comes to their health and identity.

- wryoak 1y agoIf children are sponges when it comes to learning why do we wait until high school to let them learn eg calculus? And why censor anything from them? Seems like MORE exposure to ideas is better than less. The kids’ll sort out the truth for themselves when they inherit the earth.

- mgh2 1y agoNot expertise, just distinction btwn truth and false. How can we be sure we are not a product of social media propaganda?

- ofcourseyoudo 1y agoWhat is the "false information" being pushed here? That transgender people exist? Anyone who has watched "Dead End" knows the only "propaganda" it is pushing is that trans kids exist and one particular one (Barney) feels more comfortable expressing what they feel is their most authentic identity. Also what is the comparative exposure of LGBTQ experience as seen in children's programming versus the amount of heterosexual experience they are shown?
- mgh2 1y agoIs the HN community so blind to the effects of their products that they are willing to sacrifice their children's mental health for it? Brainwashing really works. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10353947/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10353947/
