How about instead of protecting the kids we protect everyone and do something to stop these gargantuan companies from driving engagement at any cost in order to rake ad revenue.

I’ve never met a single person who believed Facebook was a force for good. Why allow it to exist in its current form at all.

If these companies are the new town square then make a real online town square run by the government people can use if they so choose and then break up the monopolies that are destroying the fabric of all the societies on the globe.

We never in a million years should have allowed these companies to establish global scale communications platforms without the ability to properly moderate them with human intervention and that’s not even to speak of the actual nefarious intent they possess to drive engagement and the anti democratic techno feudalist sickening shit we see from their CEOs like Thiel et al.

They are a plague on our species that makes sport betting apps look like childs play.
