Why regulate Big Tech if we can boycott it?(Also, why write about banning kids from social media? Kids are only banned from adtech, which is at best quasi-social and shouldn't be indicated with a term that fits platforms in the fediverse, which are truly social in every aspect. Words matter...)

Regulating Big Tech is like playing whack-a-mole, or, as the Dutch would say, mopping while the tap is running. -

@manlycoffee They should do both.
Too many ways phones are toxic to child development.
@NicelyManifest @manlycoffee Authoritarian bullshit like that is even more "toxic to child development".

@manlycoffee The assumption that both sides here now want to codify is that small children must be tethered to remote central computers running secret attention-manipulating algorithms, and potentially every other person on Earth, unsupervised. Absurd just 15y ago, and still none of its proponents will explicitly demand it, because it still sounds insane when it is articulated.
This shit is getting scary fast because the dialogue around it is so half-baked. Like what we have now is equivalent to Clipper Chips and a boot planted directly on the face of open source. Pull your heads out of your f_cking streaming channels and reflect for a change. You want to knee-jerk advocate for something that you think is the exact opposite of The Bad Thing, and that becomes the social media talking point... but what I see is people who don't bother to examine the issues in any detail. The result is lose, and lose and then lose again. Hey... lose everything, why not.

@manlycoffee personally is from both. Internet is also kinda like drugs. Sure kids find there way. But there is also lot of sadness online doing also. Kids also meet offline other kids. If there vertification in place you can regulate big tech also.
@ringo32 @manlycoffee as a parent: you don't teach children that those other things are important by forbidding social media.
Banning social media for kids makes it unnecessarily attractive, and keeps me from training proper rules around social media. Both are a net negative.

agreed! unfortunately, they don't have the guts to stand up to trump and his cronies.

Yeah, I proposed that before we ban social media by age, instead, let's have a blanket ban on auto-scrolling videos.
This would probably capture the "harm" that we want the under 16s to be shielded from, but older individuals are not immune from it, so they'd also benefit from the ban.

What about #peertube? What makes it not evil? -

@manlycoffee exactly! The problem isn’t that kids want to explore, it’s that big tech are adult monsters who know better and don’t care.
