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

I mean, social media should be banned for everyone, not just teenagers. It’s a great evil in the world today, and in a functional democracy that wasn’t braindead, we should ban them outright for the mass harm and destruction they have caused.

That being said, I fully understand that the motivations of countries for these kinds of bans have little to do with the harm of social media and are much more about surveillance.

Which type of social media are we referring to here?

Doesn’t Lemmy count as social media?

There’s a list of 10 or 12 social networks that are banned: YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, etc.

Lemmy is still legal.

Lemmy is legal because it’s too small for them to notice.

And YouTube is an incredible resource for finding information. It’s not social media at all.
