@eniko except that social media really IS designed by researchers to be maximally addictive, so I'm not sure that compares fully.

Of course, that part should be banned for everyone.

@JoeHenzi @larsmb "Satanic Panic doesn't have a list of victims"

uhh yeah it does actually https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8Nhvr1X8Kc

@JoeHenzi @larsmb okay so do something *about facebook*, *legislate against facebook*

don't cut kids off from the rest of society. what, you think no kids ever died from being under the total control of their abusive parents with no way to connect with anyone else?

also you're a real piece of work insinuating over and over that i'm somehow a proponent of facebook in any way, let alone them making a profit off dead kids

@JoeHenzi @larsmb @eniko

What, you mean we actually need to SOLVE PROBLEMS STRUCTURALLY and not just silo off our kids from the wider world?!!?!?!?

do you want kids to die or something smh

@eniko

got the classic reply guy block but: I think these guys lack imagination in both how socmed can be improved (especially for over 14's) and how children can be hurt in ways that arent socmed's fault

@eniko

i need these dudes to understand a large chunk of the financial push for socmed bans is the establishment is mad kids are propalestine. Not to say the stories of bullying arent real but this was never the only or best solution to bullying or depression
