'Zuckerberg, what the hell were you thinking?': Ted Cruz grills Meta CEO on Instagram's child safety

[@sunilbabu588]

Allowing children use phone unmonitored is like leaving them in public place alone. Now you cannot destroy each and every public space to ensure their safety. Not letting them there alone is what needs to be done.

Social media has destroyed every single living generation to the point that even boomers who hated us using our phones are constantly attached to it , maybe the burden of proof should rely more on the private company than the consumer , since it is the one that controls content . Isn't that what capitalism is about? We should also educate parents and teachers to stop kids from using social media. App blockers are a good way to start that. Also , we as a civilisation never discussed how detrimental social media would be. We just jumped on the bandwagon and now we are here👆🏻

Best way to protect kids is the parents taking the controller

[@RaeneYT]

There is such thing as overreaching. There are vast benefits to the use of social media to facilitate the wide range of different types of children and their approach to social interactions. Such as the case of the shy children who don't interact well at school. To deprive them of an alternative and force them to either deal with a social interaction they are not comfortable with or be alone is dystopian. The issue is the ways that abuse can and should be addressed on the platform. Things like 24/7 hotlines specific to the social media sites dedicated to dealing with this issue would go a long way. But something as simple as submitting a ticket and hoping action to be taken is not enough. But just as easily as they can be abused, people can use an online space to be helped greatly. It's a new realm which means a new realm of security needs to be accessible.

​@@Vagamundos- That's kinda the same thing no? They're blaming a guy who made an online social tool for the public to use for ruining their children, when he himself isn't involved in any action they took. It should be the parents/guardians' responsibility to know what their kids are doing. That'd be like blaming the owner and makers of an online game for having kids play with each other online. Instead of taking responsibility for what their kids are doing, people nowadays point the finger at those around them, it's pathetic really.
