@nic221 there's an obvious problem with commercial social media and children are obviously falling victims to it. So much for Haidt and his critics.
I personally do not live in any of the countries that are currently banning social media, but I'm certainly doing anything I could to reduce access to social networks for my kid. This includes both restrictions and explanations at home and pushing the school to control use.
@nic221 having said this, the fediverse also is not a safe space. As an admin of a lemmy instance and a moderator of a mastodon instance, I am well aware of the difficulties of moderation and I've casually come across content that the children around me are not ready to see.
