Perspektiv Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Am sure many of you have heard the grilling of prominent social media CEOs in the US. At times being told they have "blood on their hands", even pressuring an apology from one of them. Many of the stories, sobering. Minors victims of sexploitation. Luring. Etc. Some taking their own lives, after the traumatic experiences. How much responsibility does a social media website bear for overall safety? How much of it is not their responsibility? Could anything be done to reduce these risks? How much should a social media website be responsible for your safety? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing to me how averse so many people are these days to taking responsibility for themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'but have you thought of the children?' point is ridiculous to say the least. All these things that you mentioned such as luring, sexual exploitation, suicide are possible without social media. Social media can also help expose those who partake in shady things as much as it helps those who perpetrate them. Parents are the ultimate line of defence for their children. Not a multinational corporation and a clearly corrupt government. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it seems like its the job of others to raise your kids, but look out if you happen to discipline those kids. 18 minutes ago, QuebecOverCanada said: Not a multinational corporation and a clearly corrupt government. I kind of see it like demanding McDonald's to serve healthy options only. How about not eating their food, daily? Just because you want to stuff your face without repercussions, doesn't obligate McDicks to give a crap about it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly right. The left has created this narrative that if you don't have what others have it's because others have prevented you from getting it or have stolen it from you.
