Denmark Aims To Ban Social Media For Children Under 15, PM Says | PAPPP's Rambling
Article note: We really need to start making some distinctions separating algorithmic feeds (which are pure brainrot and propaganda) and participating in society.
It's _really good_ for young people to encounter enthusiast communities and professions and communicating-like-adults online. Algorithmic feeds are almost certainly bad for ...all of us.
The Danish government wants to introduce a ban on several social media platforms for children under the age of 15, as Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen announced Tuesday. From a report: "Mobile phones and social media are stealing our children's childhood," she said in her opening speech to the Danish parliament, the Folketing. "We have unleashed a monster," Frederiksen said, noting that almost all Danish seventh graders, where pupils are typically 13 or 14 years old, own a cellphone.
"I hope that you here in the chamber will help tighten the law so that we take better care of our children here in Denmark," she added. However, Frederiksen did not give further details on what such a ban would entail, nor does a bill on an age limit appear in the government's legislative program for the upcoming parliamentary year.
There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
