@presidiet @Karolina @EUCommission And honestly I find it just difficult to take this discussion seriously now, considering that the person used their gender to accuse me of something that I never did, when gender was never the or in discussion in the first place.
Any credibility for a factual discussion goes out of the window with that kind of behavior. It's just not okay for someone to attack or accuse someone else like that on the basis of nothing.
They clearly didn't even look at my profile.@mttn @Karolina @EUCommission She did not say it was caused by fascists.
Mansplaining depends on the genders on those discussing and the tone in which it is done, not the topic of discussion
You’re not the arbiter of what constitutes a factual discussion and a very poor party to it.
Im getting the sense that you’re constitutionally incapable of not having the last word so I will mute you now and let you start your tirade.

>Age-appropriate protections
This sounds way too much like "we know tobacco products are designed to be more addictive than necessary, so we're banning their sale from under 18 year olds".
Please consider that everyone wants a safe environment, and you can't just let social media companies act predatory because all the victims are of voting age.
@iju To make Internet safe for “young Europeans (aged 16–29)”... let’s force the businesses check the age of everyone who looks under 30?
No. This does not sound like a plan. There must be better ideas?

I speak or write the same tone with everyone, and like I said, they blocked me, I can't go back on what they said, it says "profile unavailable". This discussion is therefore pointless.
That being said, the accusation is baseless and disrespectful, especially in the age of the internet where you can just look at one's profile and see what's going on.
It's pretty obvious that the person wasn't interested in the facts, because they were easy to uncover here. -

In my experience, I was never able to have a constructive discussion with someone that behaves that way.

Growing up now is growing up online.
Young people in Europe spend much of their lives in digital spaces where they connect, learn and express themselves.
But they can also face risks like cyberbullying, disinformation and harmful content.

Enough with empty rhetoric. It is time for a "#RegimeChange" at the #EuropeanCommission.

@presidiet @Karolina @EUCommission Do you condone that kind of behavior?
We can disagree as much as we want on the subject itself, but one thing we should all agree on is that it's not okay to use aspects that we don't choose like gender or skin color to make someone look bad.
I will always stand firm by that.
And if you condone it, then I will not proceed to have a discussion with you. I dislike just "leaving", I apologize, but I just do not wish to get accused that way again, I've had enough. -

@shuro
In 2003 technology wasn't quite ready to feed us endless streams of brain rot individually tuned for maximum addiction. 200 badger mushrooms a day would have hit differently I think.Apart from that I agree about parenting and commercialization.
@notsoloud IMO it is mostly coming from commercialization as social networks and other platforms have direct monetary incentive to drag people into constant consumption while milking their attention and data.
Adults are suffering from this and maybe even more so because they are less used to this constant avalanche of information than younger people growing up with smartphone in their hand. I'd treat it more like smoking problem which needs to be tackled for everyone rather than prioritize building ineffective and questionable fences for the young and when these don't work - keep adding more barbed wire.
Also it is not like the most kids (and adults!) would otherwise consume classical literature
For example, just about everywhere things like teen crime, teen pregnancies, etc are on the decline and the most likely explanation is exactly this. So maybe it is not that bad if some kids now choose to watch TikTok or play online games instead of sniffing glue or joining gangs And let's not forget the forbidden fruit effect. If kids want something, they'll get it. If they can't get it in more decent sources where some moderation exists, they'll find it in darker places - along with other things.

@EUCommission the best protection would be to ban Meta and TikTok in Europe. That would solve 90% of the problems immediately.

There are so many questions about this protection I have that anyone who has been a teen with internet could come up with (or, really, anyone who knows what teens get up to) that y'all have not even addressed.
It honestly reads like an attempt to introduce means of control and not a real attempt at providing safety.
