RE: The truth about Social Media.

in #facebook7 years ago

I disagree. Saying this or that is the problem is precisely why we are held hostage. This is giving up control to an external power. I say that we don't need to 'protect' our children as all it does is leave them vulnerable. We need to shield them only as long as they are capable of rational thought. We should teach them not to be sheep, and to think for themselves. Is this a good thing?

As soon as people think more, society changes. I'm not saying it is easy. I'm saying that for true freedom, education is key, and it starts with parents, not teachers or the Internet. Social Media didn't start out being 'bad'. Decades ago, it started out as a wonderful way to meet people online. Now, people have turned into something less that desirable, and gave it the name of 'Social Media'. We just called it the 'Internet' and 'real people on the net' years ago.

In my opinion, children should not even be on general Social Media. It's an adult place. We don't allow kids to go to a bar and drink, but it's okay for them to watch violence, sexual content, and play amongst adults online.
