The Australien Government has made an ad about the Social Media Ban for Under-16s, and it's surprisingly honest and informative.

"We all agree social media can be harmful." I don't. I only see harm from quasi-social media, not actually social media. Australia is calling quasi-social media social... That is harmful... People need to know the difference!

I think of it as antisocial media.

"there is always a well-known solution to every human problem — neat, plausible, and wrong."

Why not legislate a option for users to turn off the algorithm? A check box that changes what posts you see to people, hashtags, etc you have subscribed to.

Doesn't solve malicious ads, but it's a good start.

Great to see this happen and break the toxic cycle of addictive technology imposed upon us!

Now the same should be done for the indoctrination attempts and fake content on these media. And that starts with education. Truth under attack!

@thejuicemedia Makes Monty Python stuff look straight laced ...

@thejuicemedia Excellent and spot on point as usual!

@robloblaw @thejuicemedia
One way or another, we should agree on a term that catches on, because calling ad-tech platforms 'social media' has to end. We shouldn't discuss communication platforms without clearly distinguishing between harmful and non-harmful ones anymore.

@thejuicemedia I wonder if there’s an influx of Australian kids to some Mastodon servers somewhere?

We need something like this for politics in the UK.

@thejuicemedia exactly what I think of every time a group of people can only demand that “something must be done”. There it is!

@thejuicemedia Hahaha this is amazing!
