I personally believe that If you are raised right and have a good heart you cannot really even process this evil until you experience it. I’ve had people try and exploit me, and my world view changed that day even if not much came from it, we need to repeal 230, we need to be able to sue these companies, these kids are not ready for this, no one is.

When I was growing up in the U.S. during the dawn of the 'internet age,' I rarely saw either of my parents outside of work. Most kids took the bus or walked home, and our parents usually didn't return until around 6 or 7 in the evening. This left us with hours at home alone, free to occupy ourselves. Then, when summer came around, our parents' workplaces didn't offer, and still don't require, vacations longer than a week per year. This meant that, once again, much of the summer was left to our own devices. These devices became a substitute for the absence of our parents, providing entertainment and opportunities to learn. This highlights a flaw in the design of the United States' economic system, with tech companies and incidents being a consequence of this.

Your kid drives across an intersection in a Toyota and he isn’t wearing a seatbelt. A Ford F-150 t bones him. The kid gets seriously hurt. Despite Toyota’s and Ford’s best efforts in safety technology, the parent sues the CEOs of Ford and Toyota because they failed to protect their child. Does that make sense? It isn’t the CEO’s fault that TikTok or Toyota failed to protect the children. It is the parents and child’s responsibility when using the app or vehicle. They’re just trying to get rid of TikTok.

Blaming the victim? Kids get scared and are ashamed in these situations. Fear and shame are not the greatest emotions to have when needing to make commons sense decisions, even for adults. That is why they choose suicide, or panic and keep it secret from those adults that can help. Children and even teens are not mature enough to vote, or to make some life choices for themselves. It is up to the adults to put in safeguards to eliminate exploitation. A parent can teach their child how to deal with this type of adversity but if that child screws up and knows that the parent told them this could happen, how likely are they to admit that they did wrong and are now in over their head?

Maybe ai can also help out in that topic. I honestly think this issue is being weaponizes not for the cause of child protection. Loading all responsibility to the companies is cheap. It is impossible to control all content timely, if you ask me there should be upload filter scanning before uploading. But that on the other hand will surely miss used and the use cases will go up from time to time. First step could be a prevention hotline, a direct contact for parents to call and mandatory courses for kids in schools and parents.

It looks like all the tec companies have invested in some level of child safety on their platforms. But the questions are, 1. Are parents aware of these safety measures, 2. Do they know how to use these safety measures, Are they making any efforts to learn and use these safety measures. Educational support from the tec companies would help in this regard. 3.Do parents use these safety measures, 4. Are these safety measure robust enough to guarantee child safety? Guess everything can be improved. The Tec companies should identify the loss ends and fix it. This is a joint responsibility between the tec companies, law makers, the judiciary and Parents mostly. Even with the best safety tools parents have to pay attention to their Kids. They shouldn't shift the blame to only the tec companies. We are all involved. Let do this together. In my view no minor under 17 years by law should be allow on social media. Those of us who were introduce to social media at 25 years don't have much problems. We can easily filter and navigate ourselves to safety.

So many parents on here rationalizing why they give their kids a smart phone. They say. "They need it incase there is an emergency". These parents think we are idiots. There are non smart phones they can contact you with.

At what point do we start to see and accept the real cause of these issues? It is the responsibility of a PARENT to monitor and teach their children the right values. It is NOT the responsibilities of these companies who are just doing their business to watch your child, who might I add, they don't even know has been born. Fire, deadly as it is isn't burning children every day yet it exists everywhere. Why? Because children have been taught that it is dangerous! This same caution should be placed on access to social media. If you give a child a phone, or laptop or whatever, then you have given them a portal to the internet which has all kinds of content. I think it is enough that these companies have tried to put in place safety measures for child accounts. The duty is left to parents to do their job and parent their children! If you fail in your job, you..... and not a stranger......should be held accountable for failing to be responsible for your own child!

It's good to see that the big guys are being held accountable. This is good...but they're gonna need to start bringing some of these parents before the court also. Kid's aren't supposed to raise themselves, or be raised by Social Media.

1:10:45 I think around this moment says a lot because they’re saying it’s “too hard” for the parents. So yes maybe that means making the parent controls more user friendly. My question is shouldn’t you as a parent want to learn and figure it out if it means you can help keep your kid safer online because at the end of the day you are closer to your children and can have more of an impact on helping your kids than the platforms. At the end of the day the platforms can only do so much, but you are there physically with your children.

Is it naive of me to think & say that parents play a large role in overseeing their own children? Yes; criminals need to be caught/accountable. Parents too should make clear that explicit photos & language can never be used ‘innocently’ or privately on any forum, ever.

Why is Nigeria a haven for online scammers? Can someone explain this? Not only for young people but for older and the elderly generation. An acquaintance in her 60s was a victim of extortion through a dating app several years ago and I fear that she is currently being extorted again. She is uneducated and desperate to marry and ignorant of scammers. It’s truly sad that scammers target vulnerable elders.

S.P.M Here: Dear reader, Doesn't Nigeria realize that it has already created a bad image for itself? It was not a surprise to hear that country's name in this extortion case.

On one hand, I agree that that a lot of the problems presented here are personal responsibility and parent responsibility. However, there will always be parents who do not properly take care of their children, and because of that the burden falls on the companies running these apps to mitigate it
