@Badie912 @GivnerAriel That's a generalization, do you really think that should apply to every situation lol? Obviously not.
People loooove to say things they think are profound, without even thinking lol

@GivnerAriel I'd like to live in a world where success through self-determination wins over victimhood.
Wake tf up

A lot of very aggressive and extreme comments on this one so I’d like to clarify my perspective.
I get the concern. Targeting kids with addictive design like infinite scroll is bad and genuinely harmful. I truly believe that.
But, people are starting to treat online speech like a harmful product, driving lawsuits against social media.
IMO, speech isn’t a substance. Regulating it like one opens the door to government control, pushes platforms to over-censor, and shrinks what everyone can say. That is a real concern as well.
Both things can be true, but the precedent here is the real risk.
Ariel Givner@GivnerAriel
This is disgusting and I can’t wait for the appeals. The precedent set by YouTube being liable for screen-time addiction is kind of scary. Treating algorithms like a defective product opens the door to endless lawsuits over “addictive” tech. What’s next? Books, video games, junk food? What happened to personal responsibility?
English
@FurkanGozukara Many people blame the parents too lol
English
Terrifying reality check. Social media algorithms use AI to figure out your exact age and specifically target children with ads and infinite scrolling. They exploit kids whose frontal lobes aren't fully developed because they know they can't stop scrolling on their own.
English
@pokedstudiouk @timurkuran Exactly. These people complaining just read the headlines and don't even look into the nuances lol
English
@timurkuran thats not what its about, its not the conent but how its delivered to children in order to keep them continuously viewing
English
Sugar is addictive. So is coffee. So is watching an action series on Netflix or reading a gripping novel. Higher courts will probably overturn this verdict, as they should.
Justine Moore@venturetwins
I don't want to be an asshole here, but I'm worried we're losing the concept of personal responsibility
English
@timurkuran You didn't even look into the details you just read the headline lol
English
@elchapococco @BreitbartNews But if a company did intentionally damage a child's mental health for profit's by engineering software specifically to do that, would you view that as unethical and illegal and then would you agree with the outcome?
English
@_PsychoAlienCat @BreitbartNews I honestly wouldn't know. But I do know thathe majority of troubled kids and also troubled adults are a result of upbringing. Itdoesn't mean that well-raised kids can't have disorders.But parents are the first point of contact for their child and monitor what your child is up to.
English
WOW: A jury found Meta and YouTube liable in a landmark lawsuit that aimed to hold social media platforms responsible for harm to children using their services.
English
@Junu67709366 @benfromsuffolk @ReemAmirIbrahim You agree that it's OK to use tracked data about how teens are with engagement loops and then use that data to further engineer a biological dependency in them for profit?
English
English
Sorry, but this is obviously her parents' fault.
KGM sued Meta and YouTube for the psychological damage done by social media. You're not even supposed to have these accounts until you're 13.
How did the court find the platforms liable? Clearly, this is a failure of parenting!
English
@benfromsuffolk @ReemAmirIbrahim They don't have complete control are you insane lol
And do you even know what meta did? Like what the details in the case are of what they're shown to be guilty of? Seems like you didn't look. Because if you did you'd probably agree with the outcome lol
English
No that’s not my point - perhaps the missing context here is my discontent with the UK government enforcing KYC + age verification on all iPhones in order to pRoTeCt ChIlDrEn
It’s a slippery slope of ever growing big brother state
But absolutely a child shouldn’t be able to get addicted to devices at age 9 when parents have complete control - so yes, they are to blame
English
@GlobalUpdates24 No doubt that dude is a skilled comedian though you can't deny that.
I don't care about offending anyone either though.
Erika Kirk chose to marry for clout and not love. That was her choice and that got exposed.
English
BREAKING –
MAGA is saying that Druski disrespected a grieving widоw, Erika Kirk, by showing her entry with fireworks and music in a video
English
@poptartcaliber @ReemAmirIbrahim People exploiting kids is not a failure of parenting lol
English
@ReemAmirIbrahim It is a failure of parenting.
So is sending your kid to public school at this point.
English
@benfromsuffolk @ReemAmirIbrahim So therefore the corporations can do no wrong and it's always the parents fault?
English
@ReemAmirIbrahim This is crazy - all these devices have very powerful tools built-in for parental control. You can limit specific apps, certain age content, remotely cut them off, all sorts.
English
@ReemAmirIbrahim "How did the court find the platforms liable? Clearly, this is a failure of parenting!"
Are you fucking retarded?
You didn't even look into why the courts found the platform liable, and you have the audacity to go around screaming that it's the parents fault?
English
The nascar video was funny. It was harmless humor and that’s why most white people didn’t care
This is too far though. Beyond the blatant racism, you’re mocking a widow who had her husband assassinated in front of the world.
Imagine a white person dressing up as a “black liberal women” to mock them and posting it on the internet…

Why not just say "He could've fixed everything" and left it at that?
"Somebody tell this mf'er he could've fixed everything even though I have no fucking clue what his situation is"
English
@Throwaway547689 @prometheustakes @ReemAmirIbrahim Parents can't provide a 100% safety net. That's not a realistic expectation.
And companies that use unethical business practices should be sued. The onus shouldn't be on the victims to defend against unethical business practices.
English
@_PsychoAlienCat @prometheustakes @ReemAmirIbrahim You don't care about your kid if you apparently can't check up on them every once in a while to make sure no one is grooming them. Unless your boss threatens to blacklist you from ever getting a job again if you don't agree to work 18 hours every single day, you have no excuse.
English
Should gambling addicts sue casinos? Should overeaters sue supermarkets?
Obviously not! So why are social media companies being sued?
We're entering a world where companies that create something other people actually want are at risk of being sued, banned, or heavily regulated.
English
@BridgetPhetasy @ReemAmirIbrahim Does "Big coffee" automatically inject caffeine into you when you walk in the kitchen?
Does "Big coffee" immediately place a coffee beside you after you finish one?
English
Anytime a company creates something people like, are they just going to end up getting sued for "addiction"?
Pathetic.
English
@ReemAmirIbrahim You fucking idiots.
They didn't get sued for "creates something people like".
Maybe try looking into the details.
They prioritized profit over the safety of children by intentionally designing addictive features.
You have no problem with someone preying on kids for profit?

Druski sets off outrage after dressing as Erika Kirk in latest viral skit: 'This is too far' trib.al/Dx49onr
English
@fuzzywalrus18 @BreitbartNews That's a strawman.
A better analogy would be if alcohol companies specifically knew they were creating alcoholics, and then designed an algorithm to advertise and more easily provide more alcohol to alcoholics.
And also give it to minors too.
English
It is a free country, people should be able to offer what they want and consumers have a responsibility as well to moderate themselves. We dont need a big brother or nanny republic...
A bar sells alcohol, if you go in and have 2-3 drinks with dinner 2 nights a week that is responsible. Going 7 nights a week, getting absolutely hammered everynight is irresponsible. And people like you would probably want to sue the bar or liquor companies because you weak ass people think its addictive, when in reality. your weakness is lack of self control and accountability which you blame on others.
PATHETIC.

If Tom Brady can get cheated on, then you have to learn to live with the fact that your girl is going, and that's okay.
“Your girl is going, and that's okay, because maybe a girl is going to you. Maybe the right girl is going to you.”
English
@adamsaunders5 @DBCrypt0 Yes parents should protect their kids.
Do you really think that means people that go after those kids shouldn't be held responsible?
Like what're you talking about lol

Incoming thousands more senseless lawsuits
This is bad parenting and nothing else
Sasha Hodder@sashahodler
🚨 A jury just made Google & Meta pay $3M to a girl who started using them when she was 6. She scrolled compulsively and developed depression and suicidal thoughts. Her lawyers argued that these platforms are defective products engineered to addict children, and won.
