I assume they mean immediately after, like if someone was standing nearby already. Its a little different if you drive past them, stop the car, get out, go back ti them, and then discipline

It used to be more common for people to discipline kids that aren’t theirs for something obviously wrong. It wouldn’t usually involve grabbing, unless it was to move them out of the way of a moving car like in the story. Now there is a lot more pressure on just the parents since it’s frowned upon to discipline others children. Whether or not this is better, idk

Doing all the coding for you is not one of them.

yet. If AI can do anything well, I think it should be writing code, given the formulaic nature of code. We are NOT there yet. But it will one day, no doubt.

That’s why zero trust itself is so important. The only way it can be guaranteed is to have an open standard that is zero trust, so nobody is able to abuse it and the lay person doesn’t have to trust anyone. Not to mention if it is implemented correctly, there is no data to even trust them with, given there was zero knowledge of the end user. It would require a governing body to be competent enough to implement it, but I like to dream big

I am saying there is a blind spot for perpetrators in the Democratic party because those posts do not gain as much traction on left leaning social media platforms. That is to be expected, and I am not really trying to change anything. But this is not a feeling, I see it happen. I see things in the news about democrats, as a democrat myself, and recognize there is hardly any mention of it on here.

To be clear, I said Republicans are worse offenders. I am simply pointing out the blindspot for democrats doing the same thing.

Second, I was avoiding any former elected officials, democratic candidates, and anything from more than a few years ago. I was strictly sharing a few recent active elected democtratic officials doing the same shit.

It seems like totally valid news to me. It’s a form of investigative journalism on the reality of being online as a teenage girl. While some of us know how bad it is, plenty of people don’t.

Banning social media for under 16 is not equal to uploading IDs. Social media is literally proven to be harmful for developing brains. The same reason we banned cigarettes and alcohol. There are privacy friendly solutions to banning minors from social media

The disparities existed before social media, social media is just magnifying them. So it is more than just social media as an issue

I was a teen with social media. Not using it is totally valid advice. But simply saying “don’t use it” is like telling a smoker “don’t smoke”

It is usually republicans, but when it’s a democrat the stories don’t gain as much traction on Lemmy.

• Democrat #1
• Democrat #2
• Democrat #3

Generally when it’s a democrat, we are not defending it is the difference. Granted, the news stories don’t gain as much traction on left biased social media platforms, but at least we aren’t defending them and making them president.

The financial incentive would be open and standard document format to ease development and provide reliability

It seems like the ideal solution that can be implemented if we take the time to do it right.

I’m also young. I had smart phones ans social media in highschool. The “disadvantage” no longer exists if parents make a coordonated effort to get their kids off smart phones. You don’t need everyone, just a large enough group. I highly recommend The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt

So, he just needs a cell phone? Seems like they don’t need a smart phone. Regular cell phones are still an option

How many generations grew up without smart phones? Basically all of them. Why did it suddenly change that they are now “socially isolated” because they don’t have smart phones?

It’s actually proven that children and teens benefit from quality over quantity of their friendships. They don’t need to have surface level relationships with everyone they meet. They just need a few really good friends they interact with in real life.

Couldn’t that be said about any law that only applies to children? Under age drinking, smoking, etc. Why have laws when the parents should just stop them from doing it in the first place

It is by nature very different from television. Television is purely entertainment, and is one sided. It’s also only available when you are at home in front of a TV.

Social media is two way, you engage with it directly. You are now comparing yourself to the perceived lives of those around you. For most adults, this is fine. It had proven to have a very negative impact on developing children/teens, especially young girls. Not to mention it is now always with you, always in your pocket. You have access to it 24/7, which is nothing like TV.

TV has been around for a century and has not shown massive negative consequences on mental health. Social media and smart phones has been around for ~15 years and has ruined a generation. It is definitely not just the television replacement

I think it’s unrealistic also. I think a better solution is simply to ban endless scrolling. Require them to use pages is enforceable, and remove a proven addicting aspect to social media.

This doesn’t solve the problem at the core of social media. The inevitable comparison of fake lives on impressionable children/teens has been shown to cause depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideations. There is nothing that can be done algorithm or advertising wise that would stop that from happening.
