Social Media is NOT for Children

Permalink   


The mental health crisis among young people is an emergencyand social media has emerged as an important contributor.Dr. Vivek Murthy, U.S. surgeon general, New York Times, June 17, 2024.

In view of the risks involved, do not feel pressured to let your child use social media. Before allowing your child to use social media, make sure that he or she is mature enough to stick to time limits, maintain healthy friendships, and avoid inappropriate content.



The more social media we have, the more we think were connecting, yet we are really disconnecting from each other. JR

Keep your Kids away from Social Media!

 

Before your child enters the online world, he should be consistently demonstrating the admirable character traits youre striving to cultivate such as kindness, restraint, tolerance, inclusiveness because they will get tested.--Letting Go With Love and Confidence, by Kenneth Ginsburg and Susan FitzGerald.

 

 

The aforementioned bill, H.R.1865, entitled "Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act of 2017 passed the Senate on March 21 and is currently awaiting President Donald Trumps signature. Commonly referred to as FOSTA, the bill amends section 230 of the Communications Act of 1934 (which prevents platforms like Facebook from being held liable in situations of harassment, hate speech, cyberbullying, etc.), to make websites criminally liable for knowingly hosting, assisting, supporting, or facilitating sex trafficking.

 

Twitter Clean Up Perisope! - Children as young as nine are being groomed on the live-streaming app Periscope, a BBC investigation has found. Twitter, which owns the app, says it has zero tolerance for this kind of conduct. BBC Report:

Stop FaceBook - In 2004, when Mark Zuckerberg was a Harvard undergrad working on a skunkworks project called The Facebook, a friend asked him how he managed to obtain more than 4,000 emails, photos and, other bits of personal info from fellow students.

Read the Book Move Fast and Break Thing

HOW FACEBOOK, GOOGLE, AND AMAZON CORNERED CULTURE AND UNDERMINED DEMOCRACY

A stinging polemic that traces the destructive monopolization of the Internet by Google, Facebook and Amazon, and that proposes a new future for musicians, journalists, authors and filmmakers in the digital age. - http://www.jontaplin.com/the-book/

"Move Fast and Break Things" is the  most important book yet about the tragic consequences of monopoly power in the internet. Google, Facebook and Amazon have done wonderful things, but by a combination of design and unintended consequences, they have caused great harm to the creative arts, our culture and (in the case of Google and Facebook) our politics.

Children put themselves at great risk by communicating online with individuals they do not know in person. Internet predators intentionally access sites that children visit and can even search for potential victims by location or interest.

The longer parents delay access, the more time a child will have to mature so that he or she can use technology more wisely as a young adult. Delaying access also places a greater importance on developing personal authentic relationships first. - Learn More
