Europe should regulate Big Tech instead of banning kids from social media, Estonia says
Banning kids from social media won’t work, as they “will find very quickly the ways to go around and to still use social media,” Estonian Education Minister Kristina Kallas said.

And orders of magnitude smarter (or less authoritarian) then Pedro Sanchez, Emmanuel Macron, Mette Frederiksen, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Keir Starmer, and most other world leaders right now it seems

@manlycoffee Agree 100%. Big tech is irresponsible and only cares about money.

What about #peertube? What makes it not evil?@tzafrir @manlycoffee @NicelyManifest PeerTube is okay. The problem is media ownership concentration by megacorps. Best solution is ban on large corporate social media platforms, especially foreign ones (X, insta, TikTok...).
France has it for television and print, it should be applied to social in the EU. Germany has an anti-media-concentration law to prevent a full take over in television/news, we should have this to get rid of Meta/YouTube.

@txtx @tzafrir @manlycoffee Sounds wise. But the guilty will resist and can readily do so effectivley via influence.
Generally, we humans should really think through how group/nation decisions are made when it so often attracts precisely the wrong people into the decision making posts.

@NicelyManifest @tzafrir @manlycoffee I'd argue that my proposal is doing just that. Of course it doesn't solve all problems, but it would, I think, put a pretty massive block to the various billionaire and dictator projects designed to wreck democracy in Europe — from Brexit to Orban, the AfD and so on.
So much of their cross-border propaganda activity is promoted by US-owned social platforms. If we don't shut out those platforms here, we've pretty much given up on democracy and Europe.

@txtx @tzafrir @manlycoffee The US seem to be at root with much that is wrong in the world.
NY new mayor is starting to challenge the status quo - he looks like having great potential.

@manlycoffee There are many things to consider and change. The will to do so is only slowly kindling.
Addiction of doom-scrolling is largely age independent I believe. Trivial to add increasing pauses as you scroll.
@NicelyManifest @manlycoffee Why is it age-dependent? Because you can get grandfathered in that way?
