🤖 AI chatbot toys are vying for more time spent on device and manipulating children who don’t have the cognitive ability to understand what is happening.
If pornography isn't something many people are willing to talk about openly, we are missing a huge part of the conversation about what’s impacting our young men and boys. I'm grateful that @oso and the team at @aibm_org are undertaking this crucial responsibility by beginning rigorous research on pornography and its effects on young men.
BREAKING: A jury in Los Angeles finds Instagram and YouTube liable in a landmark social media addiction trial. apnews.com/article/social…
Karma is finally coming for Meta, through the legal system. As we await a verdict in Los Angeles on whether social media platforms were designed to addict young people, it's important to note that TWO courts have already ruled against Meta in the past month. 1) Yesterday, a jury in New Mexico established that Meta's platforms are not safe for kids, and that their design enabled the exploitation of children. This is a watershed moment: This is the FIRST time a jury has evaluated the evidence. The evidence was so compelling that the jury said Meta should pay $375 million dollars in civil penalties for the harms it has caused to New Mexico and its citizens. See here: theguardian.com/technology/202… 2. But it gets worse for Meta: a few weeks ago, in Delaware, a court ruled that Meta's insurance companies do not have a duty to defend Meta or cover its costs in the thousands of lawsuits playing out in California because, under California law, if a company caused harm through "intentional acts" rather than accidentally, the insurers have no obligation to defend that company. Because the documents brought out in the NM and LA trials show intentional actions, Meta loses insurance coverage. That's what the insurance companies asserted, and the judge agreed with them. See here: insurancejournal.com/magazines/mag-… Because of these two rulings, the legal and political landscape has changed dramatically. Going forward, social media companies will be judged like any other company whose product design decisions harm children. These two rulings mark a profound shift toward accountability. The legal system is beginning to catch up to what parents have known all along. Many parents are now more likely to get justice for what these platforms have been doing to children for many years.

🧵Tonight, myself, Pastor Rick Scarborough, Vanessa Sivadge, and Bonnie Wallace spoke at the Houston ISD Board Meeting to raise awareness about the sexually explicit content available to minors in HISD schools. For those outside of TX, HISD is the largest school district in TX with over 183K students. We each had 1 min to speak. I realized half way through that I was not going to finish my statement, and I had also planned to read from a book called “The Haters”, which is found in 7 HISD High Schools. It is an AWFUL book with 196 F BOMBS! My sweet friend Bonnie Wallace spoke ahead of me, & tried to read aloud from one of the filthy books. She was not allowed to do so by the board, & WAS ESCORTED OUT OF THE MEETING BY POLICE. What an upside down world we live in that we can’t read the filth to a room full of ADULTS, but it’s perfectly fine to put it in front of MINORS WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS. 🤯 I’ll put in the comments my statement that I had planned to read to the HISD Board if given the chance, and the other videos. Bottom line, we MUST take action to protect our children from harmful content whether it’s social media, movies, music or BOOKS! They deserve the BEST literature possible…not filth. And, as I said in my statement to HISD, following the law is a requirement…not a suggestion. ⚖️ @Moms4Liberty @TinaDescovich @V_Sivadge @cslape @mamaknowsbooks @momofnell @M4LHaysCoTx @M4LWilCoTX @Moms4LibertyGC @drbone4tx @2fight4liberty @CMooreFreedom @ShanaSFuller @captivating_21 @OccupyLibraries @TexasEd911 @TxEdStrategies @GregAbbott_TX @KenPaxtonTX @SteveTothTX @realmitchlittle @houston_cf @RAPHOOPTX @libsoftiktok @REVWUTRUTH @Rebecca_LPC @Bentley4Texas @ZebraStrongMama @nicolle99953150 @DeskofMattCone @RealRichardVega @paigered3 @htxkidsfirst @DanPatrick @robbystarbuck @bennyjohnson @kellyske @PriscillaWest77 @JulieABehling @JackPosobiec @QueenAnticommie @RealGemBalboa @SteveLovesAmmo @HonShawnThierry @ManoForTexas @MaryBowdenMD @MoCoAdvocate @Julie4TX @Nelsontiffanyb @HoustonISD
For the first time in my life, let me say: I 100 percent agree with @AOC. She's completely right. Legalized gambling is a scourge.
“What’s happening now is the mental illness is becoming valorized.” Developmental psychologist J.D. Haltigan says mental illness is increasingly being turned into an identity people embrace. “Mental illness as identity is really something that is coming on.” “I have a disorder, I am defined by that disorder, and I’m some sort of a heroic person for having this disorder.” “It’s really happening across the disorders… mostly for depression and anxiety.” “It’s become so destigmatized that there is no stigma.” “You see this a lot on social media… if you claim you have a mood disorder, you get a lot of affirmation for that.” “That feeds back into it… and you get into this sort of niche group that valorizes it and affirms it.” “That’s not really helpful treatment to eliminate the disorder.” @jdhaltigan
