Kids are sad and have problems, people think this is because of cellphones, so they want to take away the kid's cellphones, but maybe kids are sad because of other problems.
See: https://lemmy.world/post/12059331
In general, there's been lots of talk and bills related to regulating social media, a year or two ago it was "ban tik tok", now it's regulate social media and take away kid's cellphones. Lot's of talk about it, lots of time on the evening news about it. Meanwhile, nobody does anything about the big problems and the evening news wont mention them.
Yes kids are sad in part because of their cellphone, online harassment and bullying is worse than it's ever been, it's an issue in classes too and it's one thing that can easily be fixed.
If the news you check don't cover the other issues then change your news sources.
Edit: Funny that you ignored the comments in your link
Now you make OP sad and he has to look for different fediverse to find commenters that align with his view... Or maybe you need to find posts that make you supportive, idk...
lemmy.world really did become a cesspool of rightwing cancer, huh?
This thread confuses me. Are you or GP suggesting I have a certain political leaning based on this post? I'm curious to know what you think that political leaning would be?
Given that social media usage has primarily resulted in right wing radicalization, it’s possible that your politics are informing your stance. However, I suspect this is more about your intelligence.
Bro, the modern communist movement operates over Twitter. Are you suggesting communism is right-wing somehow?
You’re not very bright, are you? Yes, communist authoritarians are competing for attention across the same medium. They’re just losing to the right-wing fascists. It’s bad from every angle.
Cool, that's the end of this conversation then. I hope your day is as pleasant as you are.
I want to congratulate you and your tutors on the incredible progress you’ve made learning to write in complete sentences. Please keep it up.
