@tristanharris Jon Stewart was one of the first to use the media to bran wash the youth. His hypocrisy never fail to amaze me me.

Jr Kibs1 year ago

@tristanharris But it’s not always bad. I’d gladly spend hours scrolling X if the suggested content helps me learn things. I learn a lot here that I can’t find anywhere else. Just need to cut out as much noise as possible.

Robert Moody1 year ago

@tristanharris That's why on X you should stick to the Following page and not the For You page. You will avoid the algorithm that way.

Dank Koala1 year ago

@tristanharris Eschew "For You"! "Following" FTW!

Instead of doing the right thing, X is fighting for their right to show alleged terrorist content. There’s no place in social media for harmful and violent content and social media companies have a social responsibility.

Personally I think children shouldn’t be allowed social media … the indoctrination from the left is making our children mentally ill Children are being exposed to harmful content within minutes of creating social media account, a new experiment has revealed. Natalie Cassidy was shown first-hand how children are exposed to inappropriate social media content. She is backing a social media ban for under 16s.

I am fighting hard for real and effective regulation of Big-Tech’s social media platforms and the harms that they can cause. We need a systems based approach that holds the Tech Giants accountable for the algorithms that drive their platforms, expose people to harmful content, disseminate misinformation, and profit from outrage and conflict. The government’s planned 16 year-old age ban for social media platforms doesn’t do any of that. It’s why I provided my own Private Members’ Bill to parliament to deal with Big-Tech’s algorithms. And it’s why I couldn’t support Labor’s Social Media legislation as it stands.
