1. Parental control features on phones and computers 2. Grassroots marketing about potential risks of social media 3. Maybe better parental consent via existing regulations like CO…

I’m not saying it’s easy for teens to stop using social media, I’m just saying it doesn’t seem like it should require intervention by the US government to do so. There are many oth…

Yeah that’s a good counterpoint. I guess it hinges on whether you can define a clear boundary around what is harmful or unharmful social media. Like to me “online shopping addictio…

Not trying to defend Meta at all here, but this report is also lying. For example, it says "79% of all child sex trafficking in 2020 occurred on Meta’s platforms." But the source i…

> Facebook causes harm, disproportionately so for younger people I think I disagree with this step. Facebook causes a kind of indirect harm here, and is used willingly by teens and…

Curious, let me know if you find anything about it! That does sort of explain why the brain areas would be locally flipped, but maybe doesn’t explain the global flip (right body ->…

Fair enough - so in reality they _are_ being pressured directly to remove the content and it has nothing to do with selling the products. A slippery slope indeed!

Maybe a silly idea, but here’s a solution to prevent financial censorship: make the game free. Or monetize via another way—ads, subscriptions, credits. There’s actually a lot of op…

Had the same initial reaction - have we come full circle to Bootstrap 20 years later? But after playing around with their theme builder[1], I think there's real value here - you ca…

Nice work! I really like how simple it was to get started. I know this would make it a bit harder to signup, but I think you should consider creating a Chrome Extension that allows…

Quality has improved so much too, I tried it a few months ago at Demo Day and I’m blown away by how good it is now.

There’s nothing grammatically offensive about this. It’s like saying, “Cars come in all colors. Mine is red.”
