i really hope 40 years from now people will look at banning kids from social media the way people now look at the satanic panic of the 80s

@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.

"Satanic Panic doesn't have a list of victims"

The West Memphis Three would like to have a word...

@healyn @larsmb @eniko

In this story those three are: Mark Zuckerberg.

This is an excellent gotcha moment. You're saying Mark Zuckerberg is innocent and those kids above aren't dead. That's cute for you.

@JoeHenzi @larsmb @eniko what?
Show threadJoeHenzi1d ago
@healyn @larsmb @eniko I know this is hard for you.
Show threadJoeHenzi1d ago
@healyn @larsmb @eniko I mean, I'm really sorry this is lost on you so easily. There was a panic over no one dying. In this case, kids did die, you've seen their names. You ignored that and compared Mark Zuckerberg to innocent kids. He was found to be liable in a court of law.

@JoeHenzi @larsmb @eniko When did I mention Zuckerberg?
Show threadJoeHenzi1d ago
@healyn @larsmb @eniko Yes, you're right - explain the link please, the point of your comment.

@JoeHenzi you said the satanic panic did not have a list of victims. You literally said that. And you're wrong
Show threadJoeHenzi1d ago
@healyn oh, you you only read 7 words and refused to think - yeah... sorry you're really lost here

@healyn I love how you don't understand the post you're in and what you've raised but also used a pet name for me pedophiles use.
Show threadJoeHenzi1d ago
@healyn How are they victims, you don't see how they are Zuckerberg here? Your comment is that social media is good because drive by "gotcha" posts are important when you don't understand context and then pretend you're better than the other person I think.
