- scared_together 8mo agoDoes anybody have a link to the actual survey? Also, why are social media accounts for pets still allowed?

- cantalopes 8mo agoWhat's with everyone going all orwellian in the comments? The ban negative impact on everyone, and are absolute privacy nightmare

- Aeglaecia 8mo agoi initially agreed with the social media ban, privacy concerns notwithstanding. after reflection ... why couldnt the government instead have engaged in an education campaign to make parents understand what the modern internet does to their kids? education campaigns definitely occurred in the past to address phenomena deleterious to childhood. youtube isn't even banned, which is probably the main source of imagination deletion, so its not like the ban in its current form is super effective. lastly, what are kids meant to do when they cant talk to each other online? parks are completely empty. third spaces dont exist. urban environments dont offer a forest to explore in. banning kids' primary medium of extracurricular socialization is going to end up in a generation of neets.
