#12Political grandstanding--Graham compares guns to social media, except somehow skips over the idea that guns are actually designed to kill. How many people are killed from social media use?

#13What disturbs me is these people are all angry with a complete lack of an outlook or any attempt to discover the root of the problem and create a solution. The reason young people have been detrimented by social media is because of multiple different fundemental issues. 1. Most kids and teenagers have unmonitored access to the Internet 2. Parents don't see the harm in any of this because it gets them to shut up 3. Ma…
Legislators cannot fix parenting, but they can enforce controls and governance on social media platforms to govern to the mean. Duct tape fixes work when more aspirational fixes are unattainable. To the dismay of many, duct tape holds the world together.
It can be true that politicians are out of touch and all we're left with are suboptimal solutions to complex problems at scale.
> For additional context, I'm 15 nearing 16, so maybe I'm just spiteful out of angst.
Early 40s with two kids under 10 here. Welcome to the shit show.

#15There's a wonderful scene [0] in the anime show Gate, where a character turns the tables on a grandstanding member of the Japanese Diet.
Sometimes I fantasize about witnesses doing that during these Congressional theater productions.

Are social media not intended to kill people?

#17Imagine being able to keep your entire product suite safe for kids by just forcing your users to prove via id who they are and enforcing an actual age limit. Honestly the companies and their board members need jail. Simple fix to all the illegal material and actions performed on ya platform. ID the people who do it by forcing ID verification at signup. You want anon wild west esque communication? Cool go to 4chan. St…
Your kids are at risk because you refuse to do some parenting. Instead of asking for authoritarian, privacy-invasive laws, do some parenting.
agreed; and added a little education will go a long way.
online is a service provided by the parents; parents should probably know what the kids are doing online; though a kid will do whatever pleases them anyways - so thats where more education should help
not to downplay/say that FB/"social media" is innocent here, as their products are meant to be addicting (what was the experiment with FB and having intentional phone-app-crashes to see how fast folks bounce back into the app?) EDIT: clarification
(too many thoughts; this is a big philosophy rabbit hole with many tangets to other things - one could spiral into sugar here too lol)
what would fred rogers do?

I came to the conclusion the world is held together with painters tape when I learned there are companies hiring people to mantain OS/2 Warp systems today.
