      Don’t forget the records that convey Satan messaging when played backwards at 1.5x speed

    No more than any other social network and more likely to be less so. This just seems to be a justification for future government action against the app/company.

      I would say facebook is actually much worse. And even though you didn’t mention it, X/twitter is as bad as facebook.

        Well that could definitely be the case. I’m amazed how well intact is Twitter still in terms of userbase, despite all the dramas.

    Whose law is it of headlines, that when they ask a question it can be answered with ‘No’?

      why not both?

      If parents keep throwing kids into the public piranha tub, I’m absolutely blaming the parents, but I will still question why we keep a public piranha tub.

      We need to look outside of social media. Doesn’t mean the media we consume don’t play a role in shaping opinions. The short attention spans and highly simplified messaging encouraged by endless scrolling on social media platforms play right into the hands of populists who trade in slogans, scapegoats and easy solutions. The algorithm takes care of the rest. Once you’ve expressed an interest in politically edgy content, you will be served more of that, to the point where your perception of reality will be completely shaped by that.

      Parent here. It’s always the parents. The biggest problems with young people are typically caused by lack of parental involvement and are next to impossible for schools or society at large to solve.

      The catch is that any public figure or institution saying that out loud is more or less committing suicide. Just like I’m about to be roasted alive on here for saying it.

      Shitty, inattentive parents do not want to hear that they need to do better. Parents who didn’t plan ahead and just shove their kid in daycare don’t want to hear that they should have moved to a cheaper metropolitan area so they could work less and spend more time raising their kids. Parents who went off half cocked and had kids in unstable relationships don’t want to hear that they shouldn’t have done that knowing they wouldn’t be able to stay together in the long term.

      Nobody is allowed to say that out loud, you have to read between the lines.

    It’s not changing them, it’s breaking them free of the bullshit authorized narrative the government has over other social media platforms. It allows us to talk to each other which the government does not want. It’s a tool for class consciousness.

    Yes, but probably only about as much as every other garbage social media trashsite like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.
