Metas eigene Forschung ergab, dass die elterliche Aufsicht nicht wirklich dazu beiträgt, die zwanghafte Nutzung sozialer Medien bei Teenagern einzudämmen

So it’s not about parenting whenever an algorithm reinforces conditioning children?

Is the blame on the smoker or the tobacco company?

And yet the Reddit hate on the Aussies trying to regulate it was pretty enormous.

>Or, in other words, even when parents try to control their children’s social media use, either by using parental controls or even just household rules and supervision, it doesn’t impact whether or not the child will overuse social media or use it compulsively.

I’m sorry, what? My kids have strict limits on their screen time and when they hit their limit it turns the device off.

If somebody is saying that doesn’t stop them from using apps, they are confused.

Of course, rules alone don’t stop kids, which is why they made software to enforce the rules.

If you limit your kids time, they will eventually get bored and go play outside, play imagine games, etc. And the more they do that, the more they want to do that, so the easier it gets as a parent.

When I talk to people who say they can’t control their kids usage, the problem is either that they never set up limits, or when the kid asks to more time and calls them mean games, they give in and the kid never learns to do play offline.
