    I put more blame on parents that are not teaching their children proper internet hygiene or themselves are not learning how to properly moderate their own internet usage.

    Maybe learn to install ad blockers and don’t use toxic social media platforms that run off fake engagement and algorithmic slop to push ads.

    But what about the corporate fomo???! Who gives a shit. It’s your responsibility to learn how technology works and to make the right decisions about educating your child on internet safety and sexual education in general.

    Anyone letting their kids onto instagram, TikTok or facebook without any kind of moderation is digging their own hole.

      I’ve gotten into this a few times with Americans and the common theme is refusing to take responsibility for their kids tech illiteracy and social media influenced right wing swing. The Millennial legacy.

        It’s always “Won’t somebody else think of the children? Not me! I’m too busy to raise my own kids.”
