You expect the average parent to outwit Meta and TikTok and their teams of psychologists scheming to get their kids attention?
The social media companies could have done the socially responsible thing a decade ago and avoided all this.
- mhluongo 5mo agoI expect them to give a shit, yeah. Just like they should care about what they read or watch, or who they hang out with. Don't let your kids have an internet-connected phone, or keep it locked down so they don't have parasitic apps preying on their pre-frontal immaturity until they're old enough to handle it. All of this needs to be done intentionally, of course, or it will feel like the kids are being punished. But I can't emphasize this enough... it's our job as parents to raise our kids.
- SoftTalker 5mo agoThey do give a shit, and that's why all these social media age laws are being passed. Representatives are actually listening to their constituents. Again, Meta and TikTok and their ilk could have avoided all of this by just being socially responsible organizations, instead of sociopathic.
