Restricting social media for old people would prevent more harm.
I mean yeah, but there are legit issues with social media for kids as well, especially with trash like tiktok.
Restricting how the algorithms of social media platforms work instead of restricting the age would be much better though, but that would mean rich people earning less money. And we can’t have that right?

Problem is also bullying among peers. As I read somewhere, bullying in the school is (mostly) just in the school. Bullying online is everywhere at all hours of the day when you have a phone.
That’s kind of where it all started
Fifteen-year-old Matilda “Tilly” Rosewarne was relentlessly bullied by her peers on social media, and on February 16, 2022, Tilly took her own life.
…because…?
the young ppl will receive more brainwashing overall? the kids have no experience to measure the info with? the teens make zero use of verification depth?
na, i am sure social media causes a much bigger harm to kids as you also can see from who is getting treatment. but the hate filled steep thesis without any arguments tells me how tarded you are.
“tarded”? Exemplary childish personal attack there.
I think what they were referring to was the people doing the brainwashing, and general indiscriminate use of online services where they disregard consequences outside of their bubble.
It’s a hard thing to measure, of course. But I think long-term the effort is better focused on the young indeed, and not the old farts at the end of their life.

It is not. many univerrsities did the job and came to a conclusion. you didnt. yet you have a strong useless opinion. congrats!
…because…?
I’m guessing the commentator is thinking about the Karens and Trumps out there, that uses these media to attack others, but often with a bigger reach and things that have much bigger implications.
nice idea but no. you think a karen is making the decision that a certain amount of ppl hears her hatespeech? nope. it is not. it is american CEOs. none else. if you want a better place AND have social media, remove the boards and stockholders of the s&p500 from earth and there you go.
“We can’t forcefully scan your chats directly yet, so we’ll force you to hand over your ID.” Seems like it’s happening all at once, all over the globe the past year or so.
It is supposed to be anonymous with our MitID system, which is already in place for almost everything. How it works (on paper at least) is that the social media site would send a question to MitID, like “is this person at least 16?” And MitID just responds with yes/no
So again, in theory, no social media site should be getting your ID here. Only the government, which absolutely has it and is in fairly high trust from the people in Denmark.
The rub there is that the government probably now has a record of every site you have an account on.
What we really need is a system that’s anonymized in both directions. Where the website can verify the specific claim, age, nationality, etc, but the issuer of the verification, aka the government, can’t track where that verification has been used.
I think this should be possible, but it’s different from the way standard identity providers operate, and I haven’t heard of any of these government identity providers operating this way. That may be because it’s easier, and it may be because governments like the idea of knowing everything we do.
Social media is fine, we just need to remove the profit incentive from it.
Love it. Social media is bullshit. It is not “social” at all…a proper german translation would be “gesellschaftsmedien” and that tells you it is worth shit. what should we do with the ppl ill with stockholm syndrome that are caught up the in smut of US corpos?
saw tantrums of teenagers for not being able to procrasinate and get childish dopamin kicks. as children can not control their temper this was absolutely necessary and I think we should ban corporate social media all over europe.
Yeah why educating kids on the dangers of social media when you can restrict them …
I can educate my children all I want – if their peers are on Social Media nonstop, they will be too.
I don’t get the point. Because their friends are on social media that absolves you from educating your kids?
No. Kids will do what their peers do. As a parent, I have limited influence – unless I want to do other things that are detrimental in their own way like… confiscate their smartphones & ground them.
As a parent, I have limited influence
Nonsense. If there is one person that has all the influence, it’s you as a parent.
confiscate their smartphones & ground them
Idk why parents think punishing their child is the only thing that works lmaooo.
How about you learn what your child is doing online and talk about it if it does something it shouldn’t do. Set up a local DNS (like PiHole) and every evening, check what your child is doing. If it accesses sites it shouldn’t access, talk about it. There’s also plenty of software out there that lets you monitor your childs phone usage. Kid is 12 hours a day on tiktok? Install TimeLimit, restrict the time. Done.
You made the decision you have a child - now take the responsibility and stop relying on the government or companies to educate your children.
bad reading comprehension
Damage is done and we won’t see the big picture of WWIII. We weren’t using some toy, we were ammunition in a new kind of weapon.
It’s backfiring in Australia, so why would it work over there?
I love the sources you provided!!
What do you mean by backfiring?
The only thing I’ve read about were some influencers loosing some amount of their followers and engagement, and thus possibly money.LOL. how old are you?
probably to stem the anti-zionist rhetoric, and to prevent criticism against right wing groups.
