Child Advocates Back Surgeon General's Call for Tobacco-Like Warnings on Social Media

Jump

  • Oh we got trouble, right here in River City. We need something to keep the kids moral after school.

  • Regardless of how you feel about gun control,

    It isn't about feelings. School shootings happen more in the US.

    They can certainly be used or kept in dangerous ways that lead to tragedy, but they do exactly what you tell them.

    And? So does cocaine.

    They even come with a manual full of warnings, and a big giant label that says something to the effect of “READ MANUAL BRFORE OPERATING.” Many of them even have it etched into the firearm itself.

    That's good. As a former IT guy I know that the natural urge of humans is always to read the manual first.

    That is not the case with EULA washed legal malware.

    That's sounds bad. You probably shouldn't use it then. Notice how it doesn't work for guns? No? Let me explain it to you.

    You can choose not to be on Instagram, you can not choose to not be shot dead. The state requires me to send my kids to school but does nothing to require that they are safe at school from gun owners.

  • I got a good idea. Let's put warning labels on gun owners. "Warning: potential school shooter".

  • When I was a kid they just called modern Music and Pokemon the products of Satan. They didn't have to dress it up in pseudoscience to justify it. I bet Vivek Murthy got butthurt on reddit and is now trying to take the ball home.

    Get away with it to. No one ever gets punished for a moral panic. Janet Reno tortured a confession out of a 17 year old during the daycare panic and had a long fruitful career.

  • And now you are backtracking. You didn't say that in your previous comment what you did argue for was finding ways to hurt social media companies. Not able to support your revenge viewpoint you make it more diplomatic.

    You don't like Meta? Ok, I don't care or blame you. No one has to like anything. But you can stop pretending that you suddenly care about people hurt by that company when you post a screed about your revenge fantasies.

    As I said, it isn't about making things better it is about hurting something you don't personally like.

  • And right here is why I will never be on board with this idea. You don't want to make people better at using the tech or companies to do a better job with it, you want your revenge on them. It isn't about being greater it is about constraining success.
