The tech billionaire attacked the Spanish premier after Pedro Sánchez announced Madrid intends to roll out new rules to protect minors from social media harm, which would see executives potentially liable in court.
I would set the minimum age at 13/14, as many other countries do. What the hell does 16 mean? You are literally preventing teenagers from organising themselves properly to go out with friends, from spending time on the bus doing nothing, etc etc.
Stop with this bloody alarmism about ‘social media is too addictive!!!’ Instead, think about banning the stuff that is actually a problem, like doom scrolling
I gotta add this to the original comment so everyone can read also, i’d reply better but another user did the work for me and i agree with them
Idk about 16 and never added my opinion about it as I’m no expert on any of this, I just read the occasional study here and there.
Banning infinite scroll is an interesting idea that I hadn’t heard before and feels like it would help with the addictiveness, but it wouldn’t help for platforms like discord where grooming is a rampant problem.
Ah please, it’s just a specifically egregiously example that I’m guessing most fediverse users would know about. The problem is hardly limited to discord, you can find similar activity on Instagram for example.
Parents
Yes, but also the kids who are being groomed are more often than not already in a vulnerable situation. Given that you are indeed familiar with the discord situation I don’t need to explain this any further I hope.
Awareness
I’m not sure I’m following, awareness by who? Kids who want attention? Groomers looking for kids to manipulate? The absent parents?
Moderation
Might help, but how do you enforce a moderator? Just look at R*ddit where spez himself moderated a jailbait sub.
Greed
Now this here I’ll agree would help, but it still doesn’t prevent those who are actively grooming from getting what they want.

I mean spreading awareness about the topic, sorry but i was writing it while sleepy and used a translator to find the word i needed, sadly the translator got it wrong
moderation
It can be easly improved, right now discord staff do little to nothing (at least in my exp) when you report someone, it was rare the case where i have seen profiles disappear :/
Now this here I’lI agree would help, but it still doesn’t prevent those who are actively grooming from getting what they want.
It would help by a lot, a good chunk of the grooming is done in servers that aren’t touched because they got 30+ boosts and discord sees it and say “ya get me money, ya safe!” Usually those are also discord server based off roblox communities, what a combination…

You know what would help stopping discoes grooming?
Discord has shit ass moderation and they don’t touch servers that have a lot of boosts because they bring money, so they overlook groomer servers
