We're talking about social media here. There's nothing throwing the whole society under the bus.
I don't agree with the approach from the Australian government and I don't see that at being effective but regulating shady companies using deceptive techniques to maximise their profit is a necessary thing.
Personally I think differentiating impact on kids/teens and adult is a mistake and the approach should be around really strict control on data collection as well as strict control on the use/abuse of manipulative techniques to create addictions.
- runsWphotons 1y agoThe evidence this stuff is harming mental health is weak. We also shouldn't let academics with manipulative studies undermine freedom in society.
