Design it For Us, a coalition of youth activists pushing for changes to platform regulation, lamented that the perspectives of internet natives were not reflected in Montana’s TikTok ban bill.
“We believe that social media can be good for young people if they are designed for us,” said @zamaan and Emma Lembke, the group’s co-chairs. “Bans like this one forgo a real opportunity to proactively address kids’ safety and privacy concerns on these platforms.” https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/14/tech/montana-house-tiktok-ban/index.html

@profcarroll @zamaan it is indeed a question of design, best described as “intent rendered”

If the original intent is to grow radically and make the founders tons of $$, who cares about the well-being of the users? Well then:
