- SoftTalker 3mo agoI make this point pretty much every time I comment on this subject and it's generally downvoted. It's more than one, but one may be the most obvious. The social media and big tech companies made their bed here. They want to operate as if they have no social responsibility and just blame all the bad stuff on users and parents. This was never going to fly over the long term.
- encomiast 3mo agoThere's another misdirection here as well. Much of this mess doesn't just affect children. It's really pretty bad for everyone.
