It is for the people to understand not to use such garbage, yes. If they cant figure it out, there is always text and phones.

You contradict yourself. So the ban is not needed? You were saying it’s up to the youths to find alternatives.

What I was saying that these platforms are toxic, they have a destructive affect on all, and we all deserve something better.

A government ban never worked on anything and jts the stupidest and laziest of all options.

As I said, we all deserve safe online spaces, especially the youth but not only. I’m failing to see how this is the road to that.

50mil for a company like meta is chump change, and it is not proportional to being a teen in today’s world locked out of all main communication hubs.

Youth are not the ones who need to ‘figure it out’. Massive companies, market leaders and decisions makers should, but they are all trash.

Its a sensationalist solution that will surely backfire, it only address symptoms while ignoring the underlying many many problems.

Very short sighted

Seems like the same story all around the world. Scary shit

Instead of punishing these cancerous cess pool manipulative platforms, they punish the kids.

The youth deserves to be able to communicate and use the web the same as the rest of the population.

Regulations should be such that these platforms are neutral, non manipulative safe spaces where people can come together share content and discussions.

The overall stupidity of decision makers is incomprehensible to me. Literal shit sacks politicians that should all be thrown into a hole.

Beat of luck youth, my heart is with you. Hope Lemmy will be the answer(or some other decentralized platform)
