While I greatly oppose cutting kids off from YouTube and TikTok, if the UK knew what was good for it, it would ban adults from social media too. The sooner countries cut off unfettered access to foreign propaganda and malicious algorithms, the quicker society at large will recover. But nobody has the strength or the political capital to go that far
@stroughtonsmith I read about this this morning in the news app and went down a similar path of thinking. It was more to do with how everything has become Clickbait rather than just social media apps. The headlines for stories in the News app alone are ridiculous. Everything online is just trying to get you to click on nonsense. It’s very tiresome.
