I have no problem considering that all the brain-rotting content on the internet is probably more damageable for kids than drugs and alcohol. I don’t think Jam realizes how heavily bombarded the kids are and from such a young age.
I do.
Our 16 year old granddaughter has used Tiktok since about the age of 9 and Snapchat probably since she was about 12. She is much more sensible than her 28 year-old first cousin who used to pose “selfies” half a dozen times a day on Facebook.
Granddaughter taught me some TikTok routines which got a lot of likes, though she had to speed them up for me so it looked like I was not as lame as I was in reality at normal speed.
The 28 year-old seems to have more issues than the 16 year-old.
I don’t envy parents today. I do not know how I would handle this social media phenomenon and at my age, I have no such challenges remaining. But I suppose I would do what many do and that is use a transactional and reactive approach to it pending a “Dr. Spock” type character showing me the way. ;-)

I’m dreading the next few years. Teenage daughters are the most at risk group where the drawbacks of social media are concerned

She is probably more at risk having grown up with a father that acted like a fascist mod to her all her life.

Content generation slaves to win awards, create buzz and interest in lithucoins.
The inability to use lithucoins to buy ad links might be a snag.

Or anything else

All this talk about smart cellphones being dangerous for kids makes me wonder why y’all seem to think the risk and exposure are anavoidable.

unavoidable.

Browser functionality here is only about 10%. Buttons do not work. Edit, Quote, Reply functions - nothing. Delete does not work either.
But upper and lower cases DO work. First time in years, I think. How 'bout dat.
