Japan is seeing an uptick in cyberbullying and online sex crimes targeting children. Yet, unlike in other countries, robust measures to shield minors from harm are lacking. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2024/11/28/japan/social-media-regulation-children-japan/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #children #parenthood #teens #socialmedia #internet #x #line #childabuse #sexcrimes
@thejapantimes "Child Fund Japan" (formally the Christian Child Welfare Foundation or something) is not a reliable source and are not reasonable people.
It sounds like what this calls for is more education in schools, and maybe parental controls, however, this framing of "government intervention" (undoubtedly from that group) actually distracts from that.
