I'm not comparing it to smoking.
If someone's response to "social media is bad for kids", then to me "I keep my kids away from it, easy peasy" is not a response that invalidates the original argument. It actually supports the idea: social media is dangerous, therefore I intervene as a parent.
Yes I'm being a little lazy, but I'm not a research scientist. Gooogling some thing like "mental illness social media" is pretty easy. There's lots of studies finding at least a little corelation.
I'm not shocked your linked study says that there is very little evidence of social media causing mental health issues. I wouldn't even be shocked if it's true.
It still doesn't mean that good parenting and social media access go hand in hand.
Just trying to have a conversation and not get a PhD in the process.
OK..... Good parenthood doesn't invalidate the idea that the modern internet is bad for some/many kids.
Smoking is bad for kids, even if you don't let your kid smoke, smoking hurts the health of kids who do. Right?
I don't have kids. And I respect the Kids These Days perspective...
But aren't you concerned about how quickly YouTube and Facebook are known to show new users radical content? Have you read studies about how social media may be related to unprecedented mental illness in kids?
Aren't algorithms and social media at least a little different than books and television? Aren't they razor focused on making us sad and addicted?
Needs a good bottom text: am I a joke to you
How do you think she compares to Britney Spears, Madonna, or Beyonce? Like, Taylor Swift has become a pop star. You don't have to love her music to see she has wide appeal. I don't really like Madonna but you listen to a song and you are like "yeah I can see why people have danced to this for thirty years"
Which week are we talking about? Lol
That's not the point. If Joe the artist makes $25,000 a year breaking copyright, that doesn't mean copyright is now meaningless.
It's called the library
OK, so what does what happens in one person's family have to do with all children?
Again you might teach your kids to walk safely on the sidewalk, but if something changes and ten of thousands of kids just start walking off the sidewalk..... Wouldn't that be an issue worth considering?
