It's funny how pointless it really is to try and get through to someone who very plainly lacks empathy. You're fighting with someone who doesn't think like you to begin with so it's just kinda easy to forget that calling them out is utterly useless. Calling someone who lacks empathy out for being manipulative is just answering your question with a big fat "YES" by denying it.

I'm going to be the first manipulative person to identify himself as manipulative. It's bound to work in some kind of weird reverse psychology sort of way.

I do not trust any of the manipulative stuff, which includes empathy and altruism. The people who want to manipulate you always pretend they are benevolent and selfless.

@Slammed @CiG is it true that in Australia kids under 16 arent allowed to use social media?

 

[Cronopio]

Hope the rest of the world follows.

Well they aren't supposed to be. But it's almost impossible to enforce.
From memory it's about 14 different platforms, far from definitive but catching the main sites. Facebook and Twitter have claimed that they have got rid of something like 6M accounts, but I think the figure is bullshit. There has been a few reports of people's accounts being frozen, but I reckon most of the accounts were probably dormant accounts.
It's easy to get around and plenty of kids worked out ways even before the rule came in. But of course it also took just as little time for the nefarious pricks to write dodgy work arounds containing spyware and other shit kids don't always see.

The platforms supposedly can be fined for non compliance, although I doubt they'd ever pay. There is also no criminality on the kids if they are using it, so basically it's a law that cost a lot of money and achieves sweet fuck all until the government wants to brag about it.

The biggest problem is that the age verification software is not very accurate and can be beaten quite easily. But it can also get it wildly wrong so it's far from the success the government is trying to make it.

Hope the rest of the world follows.

Blanket bans because a government says so are never a good thing.

The best solution would of course be responsible parents, but we can't have that, can we?

 

[Slammed]

Even that's not entirely the answer.
How responsible were your parents? How often did you do something you knew they wouldn't approve of?
Kids are always going to push the boundaries no matter what those boundaries are. Being a parent isn't easy, you can never know what your kids are up to the entire time. Some kids are more open that others but no kid tells their parents 100% of what they do. It's been that way for hundreds of years.
Not all shitty and irresponsible adults are parents, but many of them have social media that is influencing the kids that also use it.

Alternatively there are millions of kids who not only use social media positively but also rely on it for the same connections adults do. These kids are cut off from the rest of the world for many different reasons from medical reasons to simple location reasons. Social media is their connection and now governments and those 'responsible' parents want it taken away.

There is NO SUCH THING as love at first sight. There is only such a thing as lust at first sight.
