Australia’s teen social media ban is a flop. But there’s no joy in ‘I told you so’

A 30% reduction of kids being exposed to these harmful platforms is a good thing and I’m glad to see it. Also, all laws are imperfect, and expecting 100% efficacy is moronic.

Right, but the politicians didn’t sell the law at 30% efficiency. They sold it at something like 95% efficiency. So they lied and they haven’t solved anything. Maybe they could have used all of that money to run campaigns to help convince parents to properly supervise their children. Maybe that would have done more than this 30% figure.

Or maybe, instead of creating privacy-infringing laws or blaming parents, we actually dismantle the tech companies who created them and imprison their leaders. We all know corporate social media is cancer, that’s why we’re on Lemmy. So let’s fucking do something about the cancer instead targeting the victims or worse, exploiting the situation to expand the surveillance state.
