Where is your hard evidence?
I’m sure you scrolled past plenty of studies that agreed with me when searching for your cherry picked example.

Extremely happy with this one. I understand everyone’s worries about surveillance and all that, and I agree with a lot of it, but I think in this case it’s worth it. Social media is just that bad.
From my own point of view, I hate hate hate Instagram/Facebook/Tiktok. When my kids get to that age I’d be facing a binary choice of either letting them use it or turning them into the “one weird kid in the class who isn’t allowed insta”. Even if this law is only 25% effective, that’s good enough for me. My kids will be in that 25% not using it, and I don’t have to worry about them being social pariahs.
From a wider point of view, social media is severely fucking up the entire world. I think it’s too much for most adults, let alone kids. No way should kids be on there.
- Comment on ‘You can be made a laughing stock to millions’: can gen Z escape the fear of being cringe? 2 weeks ago:
Kids have always been scared of being awkward and not fitting in, but I can understand why the internet has sent it into overdrive for gen Z. I’ve had younger people use “cringe” as an insult at me, but I’m too old for that to affect me. I just feel pity that they’re so scared of being themselves.
On a more positive note, I know a secondary school teacher who got good results out of saying “Well that’s embarrassing” whenever her pupils were being twats.

It’s a shame reading comments like this. The harms that you mention are absolutely miniscule compared to the negative effects of staying inside every day.

I beeped a guy when on holiday in USA once, after a truck didn’t set off for a few seconds. The guy stuck a middle finger out of his window and floored it with a great wheel spin.
Not sure if I broke the rule by beeping too early, or the American rule is that you always flip off the guy behind you.

It gets ripped down too quickly if I put it below! You can see the old cable ties from when I made that mistake.
I am SHOCKED that the patriots who hung the Union Flag did not respect proper flag protocol.
- Comment on NHS staff who visit patients at home say St George’s flags can mean ‘no-go zones’ 7 months ago:
I raised some pride flags next to the flags around my area. It really kills the racist message. Somebody else has also gone round attaching a “No hate” sign to the bottoms of every flagged lamppost.
