Young people’s right are being encroached upon, yet again. Youngism in its purest form.

Compulsory schooling is a much more intrusive encroachment of rights that we all pay for to make sure the encroaching works.
adamnemecek•3h ago
That is true, however that is already in place, while this is an additional encroachment.

I’m surprised that this wasn’t the case before. My teachers had no problem taking phones

Good. Society in general (and children in special) must be protected against the pervasive DoS of the mind. A clean environment is a fundamental right, so too is a clean mental environment (environmind?).

But it's only a start. Push further. Push harder. Cut the branches that bore the poison fruit in the first place: ban antisocial media. Then rip out the rotten roots: ban advertising completely.

And if that causes 99% of the Internet-as-an-Industry to collapse, then good riddance.

How could the state "ban antisocial media"? Your proposals are a cure that's far worse than the disease.
anvandare•3h ago
I don't know. Let's start by cutting up any "social"* company/platform with more than 10 million users and work our way down from there.

Who knows, it might even have the side-effect of forcing them to use open protocols so that people can connect to people who are on other platforms. Maybe they'll even have to make money by delivering service to their users instead of users to their advertisers.

* antisocial, they are antisocial.

Better abolish mandatory education then.

I'm curious how this will play out with states' latest revisions to their educational requirements, especially with respect to history, civics, "social studies", etc. (And how much of that is driving this 'movement'.)
