Florida ban on kids using social media likely unconstitutional, judge rules
A federal judge ruled today that Florida cannot enforce a law that requires social media platforms to block kids from using their platforms. The state law "is likely unconstitutional," US Judge Mark Walker of the Northern District of Florida ruled while granting the tech industry's request for a preliminary injunction...
Perhaps it would have been smarter to prevent these predatory behaviors from social networks in the first place. Because it is probably constitutionally more sound to ban some behaviors rather than outright ban social networks altogether.
Right. This shouldn't be about restricting children; but rather, this should be about restricting corporation's bad behaviors. It's also not just children that are impacted. Mining online dopamine-junkies for data by placing money extractors right on their weak spots is unethical, like selling someone crack, or phone scamming the elderly.
How weird is it that the left doesn't make these connections and press it when we see people like Zuckerberg standing with Republicans while Republicans push for the laws.
Like what is lacking on the left side to make these really great observations but in meaningful ways?
People on the right seize on these opportunities every time. Within days whatever view they have is shared across multiple countries on multiple sites and influencers. But the left is like a few comments isolated on Lemmy among pictures of Ed Sheeran. We're having fun though. That's what matters.
The left uses critical thinking. They need to actually engage with information and verify it before choosing to adopt it. This takes time.
The right are scared children and adopt whatever their TV parent or religious politician tells them out of fear. This takes zero time.
More people need to coorinate and work together on the left. That's the missing link
The right has group chats, and online communities for all kinds of stuff that I'm surprised the left hasn't built much of yet
