I added a quote from the #TechOversightProject:

"The documents provide smoking-gun evidence that #Meta, #Google, #Snap, and #TikTok all purposefully designed their social media products to #addict #children and #teens with no regard for known harms to their #wellbeing, and how that mass youth #addiction was core to the companies’ business models."

... as an update on my article:

#Fediverse and #Mastodon: #SocialMedia, but in a Good Way: Sustainable, Healthy, Collaborative, ...

We do have regulations for hard drugs, alcohol, tabac. However, with the real nasty stuff for brains, we won't protect our children as well as the grown ups.

Let's ban secret and harmful algorithms! That's the thing. And don't throw social networks in the same box that don't come with those properties. The #media needs to learn this as well.
