@gbsills@social.vivaldi.net @angusm@mastodon.social Are you implying that children themselves are the problem, otherwise, the exact opposite would be to regulate social media to be less awful. I was, in fact, deliberately opposing the idea that we should restrict any individual person and instead restrict companies.

@Newhereish@mastodon.social @angusm@mastodon.social We are in agreement then. I think that the solution is to make social media financially liable for its content. For example, it should be easy for a woman to sue a X (for example) for an offensive deep fake. The penalties should be in the hundreds of thousands of $ per page view. Damage to children caused by social media should be the same. Currently suing a social media company in the US, UK and EU is mostly about proving that the social media company should be held liable for its content. That needs to change.
