Lmao

How about kids under 18 don't get smartphones (Dumb phones okay?), don't get tablets either, has to go on the family computer in the kitchen again and especially don't get to have accounts on social media?

That would just about solve about most of the problems currently

"I deliberately left my childrens use a tool that manipulated their hormone secretion, and taught them alienating morals ! How could this be happening ?!"
@mangeurdenuage @coolboymew the kid being an social outcast because he doesnt have a smartphone seems to be too scary for the parents, doesn't it?
@mangeurdenuage @coolboymew it is worrying, i overheard that a few times already that as early as kindergarten kids already bully each other for not having a smartphone
a trial as a parent will be making sure your kid can stand his ground in that regard cuz internet only gets worse and worse for an undeveloped mind

@lina @coolboymew @mangeurdenuage Home-school your kids and they won't get bullied.

@xianc78 @lina @coolboymew That isn't a great solution either as you might not grow understanding how social interactions works.

@mangeurdenuage @lina @coolboymew Meet like minded parents in your local area and start a home-schooling pod (basically, home school a few other children at the same table).

@mangeurdenuage @xianc78 @coolboymew besides i am not american that i'd have to homeschool my kids in the future
there aren't pedophiles in russian schools and the useless subjects i remember are genuinely harmless, they just pad out the curriculums
@lina @xianc78 @mangeurdenuage the problem is in american school, they apparently don't even police smartphones anymore
@coolboymew @lina @xianc78 They'll police social media, only the useless part tho not the important one like bullying and just revoke access to kids before something like :gun: happen.

Not saying they should police the kids either, just saying that they're doing their job poorly so far.

@mangeurdenuage @lina @coolboymew Schools really don't have any authority when it comes to social media. They can block it, but they really only moderate for literal threats, doxing teachers, giving answers to exams, etc. In my state at least, it is illegal to film or photograph anything on school property due to safety concerns.

Sports teams are generally more strict about social media though because it is voluntary. They can kick you off the team if you are caught sexting or talking shit about coaches or school staff. I knew someone who got kicked off of their cross-country team just for saying "nigga" on Facebook.

@coolboymew @lina @mangeurdenuage They give away free iPads and don't even bother restricting them. They can't take them away if children aren't using them properly because they are required for all students.

@mangeurdenuage @lina @xianc78 @coolboymew They learn how social interactions work in a zoo of peers. It gives them a malformed view of social interaction when it's in any other scenario going forward
