      By that logic, no social media should be for anyone. All of these other sites do this as well, maybe with the exception of like twitter and facebook, but they have their own bad features and scenarios that they put you in. If you think tiktok for "toxic culture" shouldn't be for anyone, go ahead and rule out all social medias as well

    I guess the main issue about kids being on social media is how easily they could be influenced . I remember back in 2012 (I was 12), I registered a Facebook account and played games like Restaurant City and Tetris Battle. I wasn't influenced that much in a negative way, most likely because there weren't any *bad influencers* around that time (or at least I wasn't aware, cause I was an innocent kid).
    Now look at this year, 2020. *Some* CZcamsrs and influencers (I'm not gonna name them specifically), have a fanbase of mostly kids and the content they put out are... not appropriate for kids. The type of content they're putting out heavily influences their fanbase, which are the kids.
    That's why I'm glad and relieved that kids watch Hermitcraft. Sure, some kids get pretty toxic especially when there are community events like the Mayoral Event and Decked Out (Some commenters said some really nasty things about other Hermits); nonetheless, the Hermits always bring it up and tell his/her viewers that it's *wrong*, and that teaches Hermitcraft's Viewers that being *rude* is *wrong*.
    Which is why I love Hermitcraft as a whole because not only the contents produced are amazing, but the personality of each Hermit is amazing as well (:

    Children need guidance. You cant let them figure out everything for themselves. They wont figure out what harms them and what is safe. Even adults now didt figure that out for themselves. There is so much information that confirms the harms of social media so its important to keep children away from it but also explain the psychologial reasons to abstain from it

      Hmm. That's interesting actually. Since you can't really prevent kids from staying off of the internet at such a young age even when they're not supposed to be on the internet, it's probably best you normalize that option so it's not taboo to be on the internet at such a young age, but educate the accounts that are below that certain age limit to let them know the dangers of being on it in the first place. That's certainly one way of tackling the problem.

      @@lordfawful2329 My idea was theoretical more than anything. Theoretically speaking, if we get rid of how taboo it is (might be poor word choice here, but I don't really have a better word for it for now) to have kids lie about their age when they sign up for websites and services, they'd be more comfortable signing up with their real age. And if their real age ends up being below a certain threshold (to be determined) where they're more susceptible to being influenced, certain websites and services can at least give them warnings about potential threats and let them know that they're at risk of being manipulated and help them understand that. It allows young kids to be educated and have awareness over the topic, at the very least.
      The idea is very theoretical, since it's nearly impossible to get here without violating certain rules set in place in today's standards, but I like to explore tangential ideas :) Getting a discussion going about it is essential.

    The thing is that the same problems that apply to social media (and not only social media!) for children also apply to a lesser extend to adults. This spiral of negativity is toxic for everyone, the only difference is that most children and some adults just get drowned in it, and suffocate.
    The biggest problems with social media are in my opinion the algorithmic "most relevant" presentation of posts, and the toxic chasing of fake clout.
    The former is the reason why I prefer chat groups, and sites that sort by "newest first". You don't only see the "good" but also the "lost average". This can be really motivating to someone like me, who used to think he sucked, but now knows he is just part of the regular 95% of people.
    The latter is just a social problem that get amplified in these echochambers. Years of Hollywood stars have trained us to strive a life of fake clout, instead of focusing on the interactions that really matter. Friends get collected like trading cards, and the winner is the one who is present in the most decks. This behaviour creates ever-hungry clout-addicts, who focus their life on creating even more effective "like"-traps, making others envious and hence the cycle repeats.
    The real problem is not the social media, it is how you use it. There is nothing wrong with a grandma in a knitting-group like there is nothing wrong with a child in a lego group. But it only takes one toxic clout-hungry individual to get them all going "share"-hungry, and this is especially apparent with children. If these "clout"-hungry kids just get ignored (which happens quite a lot in some of the better-minded chat groups I'm part in), then you can really start to see how beneficial the internet can become, once a group of individuals get together to solve a problem.
    Of course, the whole irony is that I'm writing this on a "I'm first"-hungry platform, where I already know that nobody will read my comment and it will get sorted to the bottom... 🤔

    The difficulty is that all social medias are different. I would say tik tok is bad for the content the children are subconsciously pressured to put out. Videos of them dancing in highly suggestive ways to highly suggestive lyrics. Instagram, like you said is "bad" because you are pressured by content others are putting out.

  • @lilabenford7159
    @lilabenford7159 Před 3 lety +2

    Long answer: It depends, I guess it is ok as long as the supervisor trusts and knows whether they (the kids) are responsible enough and know what to stay away from and what is appropriate. For some kids they can be easily influenced and will believe and do whatever other people say, others however will only listen to people they can trust and if they see something inappropriate they show their carer. Now some people are probably going to say ‘why not just keep them off completely?!’ Well I believe that if social media is is used correctly it can actually be quite helpful and educational if used properly.
    Short answer: depends on the kid and carer

At the end of the day, I think social media has just been corrupted for younger audiences. Kids should be able to be on social media, especially now with every body locked up in their homes, children just naturally need that outside interaction, and they are being denied. it would be beneficial if someone in a position of power, could realize this and start to make a change. I am going onto social media because a lot of organizations I am in use medias for distribution of information, and I am also a photographer, and want to share my content, I don't want to be one of those people who sits there all day scrolling and envying/hating/depressing themselves, that is another thing I think social medias are good for, is distribution of content

    I think it's fine in moderation. I'm a teenager who in quarantine was on social media for quite a lot of time each day. Getting off of it for the past two, almost three weeks has been great. I don't know if I'll go back anytime soon, but at some point I probably will. Sure I might have bias, but with moderation and context we can combat the depressive influence social media has on us. The particular context to remember is that
    1. # of followers is a direct product of how many people you've met in real life or just arbitrarily followed on instagram. It's not indicative of how many actual friends you or anyone else has
    2. People's posts might make it seem as if they have all the friends in the world, but they're really posting their best moments. It's arguably better to experience those moments of friendship and kindness in your own life without a camera there and the pressure of posting it to social media
    3. Things can get difficult with social pressure in real life/non social media interactions, particularly the pressures surrounding competition and romance. I can speak from personal experience that I never really felt insecure about these arbitrary numbers and seldom compared the things my friends/people I knew would post online. But with social pressures around romance I became a lot more insecure and scared, and thus started comparing myself and spending more time on social media. When this happens, taking breaks (as short as an hour or as long as multiple months) really helps! I wish I did sooner.

  • @space_0wl480
    @space_0wl480 Před rokem

    I think a lot of it has to do with how much the internet spaces have changed as well. Go back a little less than 10 years ago, the dangers of the internet were basically scams, catfishing, predators and unfiltered shocking content (think creepypasta for example, or more serious, those gore websites sharing truly horrifying pictures and videos). Other than the horror aspect, they were pretty clear threats that you could navigate around with enough attention from your parents.
    Today, as you said, it's way more subtle, and "influencers" are very normalized. At an age where you're building yourself, your beliefs, your aspirations, it's truly dangerous, and in a way that's way more difficult to fight. Echo chambers are a big problem as well.
    Which is sad, because I have to admit the internet played a huge part in who I am today. I discovered so many things thanks to it, it made me accept myself in a way my parents or close circle never could, because they just weren't educated enough.
    I had hoped younger children could maybe experience the same thing, but the truth is that I don't want them to be on the internet today. And it's even scarier when the plateforms have age recomandations that parents aren't making sure to respect!

They see all these “cool and famous” people and want to be like them so much, they practically lose themselves. Many children these days smoke, drink, wear makeup and other things partially because they saw people on the internet looking really cool doing it. Of course, they will all deny it if asked but it’s obvious. It makes me kind of sad honestly, but also happy that I’m not one of them.

A random page full of Chuck Norris jokes or an Evil Overlord List of rules that someone at school thought was funny. Absurd Flash animations and Shockwave Player games. YTMND. Somebody's home page with MIDI music playing in the background, a badly tiled background image, some flashing marquee text and that dancing baby gif sitting alongside some flaming letters.

    The short answer is no - and that's all social media. They are too young to mentally cope with what may confront them, things that will go on to mould them into adulthood. At least when it was bullying/peer pressure in school you did have a chance to escape when you got home, it's 24/7 now and I know I'd not be here if I'd had that amount of pressure on me back then!
    ...and talking about likes... so much respect for you! Just gets frustrating not being able to talk back - could chat to you for hours...one day perhaps, when you're not such a busy bee ;)
