Early data from headspace shows that the teen social media ban emerged as a prominent factor in why 12-15-year-olds were coming to them.

you got beat up... and people got bullied into killing themselves because of social media. you sound like the dense one. stop making this about you.

also read the actual law. start a website they can join then to talk to like minded people that wont encourage them to killl themself or push right right propaganda, or advertise dangerous ways to lose weight and show manipulated photos of thin people when the algotythm has notoces they are feeling sad about thier weight.

"algotythm right right themself notoces thier" to you too.

Also of course it's not just about me, but it helps to put yourself in the shoes of those that will be impacted by this thoughtless censorship law, to try on their perspective for a change. I know that if this impacted me as a kid it would've been fucking awful for reasons I stated prior. You've given no rebuttal to this, so I won't bother waiting for one, or for you to learn to type coherently for that matter.

Also how fucking gross of you to even attempt to conflate something as inconsequential as cyberbullying with real life physical violence. Literally if you don't like the internet just turn the screen off and go outside. I had no such option.

And it's not the youth that's falling for right-wing propaganda, and never has been, look at the data and the polls - almost all right-wing voters are gen-x and boomers. The kids are fine, the call is coming from inside the house.

stop being so high and mighty. your issues are not more important than others issues. there is no censorship. they can still see all posts. people just cant directly interact with them. if they cant see posts then the onea who are censoring it are the social media companies. read the damn law.

how dare you say that people killing themselves because of harrasment they got on social media is not important and nothing should be done about it. once again read the damn law! as you have your facts wrong
