Social Media, Mobile Broadband and the Post-Millenial Generation

If I have children, I would ban them from social media and would not issue them a smartphone. There is an emerging body of evidence

which suggests that the effects of social media on social, psychological, and physical development are net-negative.

Children are exposed to sex in forms and contexts which they can't process at their level of understanding. They're constantly in contact with peers who often bully them. They're tracked by advertisers and targeted by corporations to form opinions and shopping habits.

Teen suicide is on the rise. Teens are developing neck and back disorders from smart phones. Attention spans diminished, and abilities to interact with people on a face-to-face basis are underdeveloped.

Teens who make up this generation are our future coworkers, managers, and leaders. The wild-west of unlimited access to porn and advertising among children is alarming, nothing short of European regulation will fix it. This isn't an issue that will be fixed by the market; it is a problem created by it.

The era of the open, hobbyist net is over. Mobile net has created a psychological hellscape for people coming of age in the West and I'm not sure we have the will to fight it or the mental health system to address it.

What we can we - as a society/potential parents/future coworkers/ lovers of this generation - do to mitigate the damage? Is the net just TV all over again - don't sit too close and you'll be fine?

What role does government regulation have in ensuring that children aren't exposed to illicit content? What responsibility does the government have in preventing advertisers from targeting the underaged/underdeveloped? In the US it's illegal to use cartoons to sell cigs - why are we allowing algorithms to target the vulnerable?

Ay whatchu doin mah boi I'm taking a shit homie XD

>that last second of the video

Every time

>If I have children, I would ban them from social media
Agreed.

No electronics until they're 7, then a heavily filtered internet until they're 16. Don't discount the IQ boost being a digital native gives.

holy shit all those words. its like a wordstorm. im in the middle of the wordpocalypse. help me jesus i cant deal with a thread that starts at the character limit just for a shitpost. call the police. the national guard. help me putin.

oh god i thought it was over but i realized a faggot leaf made this abomination and Its too soon for it to die. people have to see this giant pile of faggotry and know that it came from the great brown north

(((They'll))) make sure it's illegal to deny your child social media and the accompanying devices. It'll be deemed a form of abuse or neglect

if you where anonymous uploading videos you woulndt care what anyone thought of you

>oh god i thought it was over but i realized a faggot leaf made this abomination and Its too soon for it to die. people have to see this giant pile of faggotry and know that it came from the great brown north
What's your problem?

im oldschool and my bloodsugar is low

Cant win em all

... so you'll just turn the internet into forbidden fruit.

how can you possibly stop your kids seeing shit on friends smartphones at school, mates computers at home when they visit them etc etc.

no matter how you raise them, it will be even more exciting and addictive for them to "naughtily" look at stuff that's normally blocked at your home.

same reason it's exciting and naughty for your wife to secretly allow strangers to chat her up and meet for a quick f*ck on faceberg/twatter/tinder and other normie crap that all women are irreprably addicted to.

face it, the modern smartphone-posting internet has utterly killed the family unit. it's more obvious to some than others at the moment but give it time and it will become obvious to everyone but it was already too late back in the mid 2000's when the smartphone/faceberg apocalypse truly picked up steam (went mainstream).

we're all fooked m8, im just glad i stopped having sex back in my early 20's before any kids were made. never been married thank fuck.
not going to have to worry about being Beta-snared now that im in my 30's as im more of an Upsilon bloke and can see through gold-digging sluts a fuckin mile off.

i miss old internet so, so much. yeah RIP

>The era of the open, hobbyist net is over. Mobile net has created a psychological hellscape

so feckin true, couldn't agree more.
the old spirit of the net was finally murdered sometime in the 2000's

>Don't discount the IQ boost being a digital native gives.
Lol. The delusion is real.

Yeah, I won't raise degenerates and I understand the forbidden fruit thing, doesn't mean I'll let my preteen watch porn.

Also, you forget the very magical ability children have: they enjoy learning. Social media kills this and makes them love attention instead, if they keep the love of learning to adulthood generally they become the cleaning their room types. We always forget that a small minority of millennials are smarter than any generation before them.

>I'm a half wit so you're one too
This is called projection.

ok fine.

but how are you going to stop them seeing shit when they're at school/round friends houses?

did you RCP? no? thought not

p.s. i can tell you're a n00b so i'll go easy on you, RCP = READ. COMPREHEND. POST.

but you're probably posting from your smartphone/tablet and "discovered" the net around 2006 so i don't know why i'm wasting my time.

Easy, I have children around the same time as my best friends and we all raise non degenerate children together.

ok good luck with that lol

maybe you have tight communities out on the prison island iunno. good 4 u

but seriously,

>get a load of this guy.jpeg
>thinks there isn't some little shit or two in every class at school
>little shit is guaranteed to be even more of a shit in this modern era of easily accessible HD live-action gore and nigger porn
>little shit(s) show this to fellow classmates
>...
>profit

well like i said, good luck

This fucking scary

What happens?

you really don't wanna know :(

Ok thanks man, it must be bad then. Didn't like the look of it when I hovered over the picture.

He moves so fast for such a round, dense looking little guy.

Never stood a chance. :(

Why, what got him?

The little guy is actually the gotter, not the gottee.

Scary stuff!

Dude seriously just forget about it. I cant get it out of my head and it really fucked me up. You dont want this.

>XD

Fucking day of the rake soon

Aye, think I'll leave it, bedtime soon, don't need any of that fogging up my brain space.
I'm already creeped out just from the vague descriptions.

I guess we did a good thing here today, eh leaf?

As soon as that troll starts crawling thats when you stomp a motherfucker what the fuck is wrong with someone where they just sit with their fucking pants down saying 'well lets film it and see where it goes' what the fuck.

As for your actual post misses and I have always discussed how we wouldnt introduce that sort of technology to them until they're hitting double digits. My younger cousins many years ago learnt how to buy things on the apple store and they were like 8 years old, and they saw no problem in taking their mothers credit card and running up a $300 bill. The previous gen fucked up by convincing the last decade of parents that technology will make child rearing easier or whatever the fuck and now this is what we're getting. The labour force issue is what bothers me most. Used to be from a perceived lack of productivity but now I realise the potential for an insufficient number of able bodied labourers. Robots wont take all the jobs for a looooooong arse time but scoliosis and a litany of personality disorders will destroy the industries before then.

Yup

What's happening in that webm?

Someone post the YouTube link for OPs webm.

Really the audio takes away from the experience I think, I just watched it. The webm is better.

post it, i want to see it. i want to add it to my nightmares folder

There's a million other issues the world needs to focus on, but this is fucking horrific.

They couldn't be bothered to stab out the poor fucker's brain or shoot it before they started that shit.
Chinks really are evil.

the absolute state of china

Fucking chinks

I fucking hate the Chinese, they are the rats to the world.

what if im a chinese that hates the chinese for the shit they do? is that okay?
