Technology

And they've convinced you that it's a-okay for your kids to be using these products, in full knowledge of the harm they cause.

Because they know their kids will have an advantage over the stupefied masses if they can keep them unmezmerizes.

Well, they know why. And they know that most of the people are stupid as a stone. This is how they made their money.

Duh. You think the CEO of Kraft feeds his kids mac and cheese from a box?

Other tech CEOs, including Microsoft’s Bill Gates, Snap’s Evan Spiegel, and Tesla’s Elon Musk, have also spoken about limiting their children’s access to devices. Gates has said he did not give his children smartphones until age 14 and banned phones at the dinner table entirely. Snap CEO Evan Spiegel, in 2018, said he limits his child to the same 1.5 hours per week of screen time as Thiel.

Seems like these failures suing them & demanding government paternalism

Yet, as the trials against social media companies continue and country after country moves toward legislating what Silicon Valley’s billionaires have quietly practiced for years

don't know how to effectively limit access/use parental controls as tech CEOs claim to do.

This behavior seems to be very similar to NFL stars and how they never wanted their kids to play football.

Everyone involved knows how dangerous social media/football is and many of them are in positions to actually do something about it. But because it benefits them personally, they won't even rock the boat.

Wow what a surprise. I can't imagine anyone better to know how unsafe something is other than the lead architects themselves.

banned phones at the dinner table entirely

I would everyone is doing this. Sitting down to eat together once a day and talk isn't something only billionaires can afford.

This isn't new. I remember fifteen years ago some Silicon Valley app engineers forbade their children from playing the games that were being developed.

It's because they're engineered to use your psychology against you. This is by design.

How cute. They think the things billionaires say for ammo in the evential lawsuit are actually true.

"Our technology is perfectly safe and harmless for all ages!"

"So you would let your own children use it?"

"Nooo. No no no no no no. God no."

YouTube cofounder Steve Chen said at a talk at the Stanford Graduate School of Business last year that he wouldn’t want his kids consuming only short-form content, noting that it might be better to limit kids to videos longer than 15 minutes.

I hope this is introduced at the LA trial in some form that demonstrates the why.

I should not be amazed, but I still am, at the entire lack of morality that tech entrepreneurs have post dotcom bursting.

Fucking degenerate assholes, pushing drugs knowing full well how harmful it is.

Hmmm it appears they understand how evil all the tech companies are, harvesting data to the fullest extent. Spying, influencing, etc.

Does musk even see any of his kids often enough to set rules?

That should be enough evidence for the rest of the world…

I say bullshit, these people aren't involved enough in their kids lives to even know if their "1 hour a day" or whatever rules are happening. Their kids are absolutely doing whatever the fuck they want.

Eat the rich

The most disturbing part is these ghouls reproduced.

the antichrist guy

Musk is the most Twitter addicted person I am aware of.

And finally, Musk, who bought the social media company X, formerly Twitter, in 2022, said it “might’ve been a mistake” to not set any rules on social media for his children.

That would require him to spend more time around his children than photoshoots and using them as human shields

What, Musks too? He's not known to have much to do with family.

Never get high on your own supply

My son was never interested in video games, nor does he use any social media. Instead, he reads and watches movies.

He's a film studies student, and knows films inside and out because he's seen almost everything, from every country, from every era. He's also an avid reader of classics, and just finished Moby Dick. It wasn't an assignment, he just wanted to read it.

He wouldn't be that smart if he'd buried himself in video games and social media.
