      Drug dealers don’t use drugs either.

      edit: Number 4 I know you heard this before
      „Never get high on your own supply“

      My comment is about the top of the food chain, not a street dealer. You think the Sackler family sits around strung out on OxyContin all day?

      Reminder: Peter Thiel has organized a secret society called Dialog which gathers tech executives, hedge fund leaders, politicians, former military personnel, celebrities, and intelligence leaders. Check my profile for a full sourced list if you’re curious!

    3. No billionaire uses their own crap they peddle to the unwashed masses cause they know because of their influence these products and or services have lowest possible (or lower) standards and or are addictive on purpose to make max profit and or or both keep the masses tuned in

    4. Hypocrisy can only shield you for a little bit. A man’s bad deeds are passed down their generations. That’s the way the world works. These shields are just lies they are telling themselves. Because what goes around comes around.

    5. Just like they and all their kids are off getting humanities degrees while telling the peons first “learn to code” and now “learn a trade.”

    6. It was the Facebook whistle blower (the right hand of Zuck at the time) that said :

      When I arrived at Facebook, I was asking my colleagues that had teenagers, what they thought of the new featured we rolled out last week. They all said they don’t allow their kids to have screen at all. Even the younger ones were having montessori kindergartens with wooden toys and stuff.

      Probably it’s in the article but half of it is pay walled, I thought it was worth mentioning.

      Someone should be shielding their children from them. Make that all children.

    8. Peter thiel is the anti Christ and other tech billionaires. Blood sucking parasites.

    9. Because rich billionaires have a reputable history of raising kids to be good people. Who cares they don’t know shit.

    10. They created something bad just to make money. Their kids will figure it out.

      Their children will get a 90s childhood, a classical education devoid of AI and a trust fund.

      It’s called being a hypocrite/a phony. Nothing new or anything unexpected here.

      Ever seen Futurama? A very famous billionaire in it who looks cartoonishly evil, but I can mostly buy it.

      This is why Neo-Feudalism is the wrong term often used to describe their goals.
      In Feudalism the leading class was also part of the system and had to participate. A King and/or their children needed to lead from the front, taking part in the same activities and establishing contacts with their people

      This is a fascist approach, where the ones in power, together with their families, hide far away from the action, ruling by deputies and are not part of their own system but standing beyond it. Hiding in bunkers while „their“ people die because of their decision.

      Tech-Facism is the right term to use, and they proof on a daily bases that they are nothing else.

      The product is for your kids. Their kids get tutors, sports, books, and adults paid to keep the product away from them

    15. External-Ad4873 on

      To be fair the article doesn’t say they prohibit the use of phones and social media etc., but they set limits on usage. This is what we should all be doing and what is widely encouraged anyway.

    16. Horror_Response_1991 on

      Mostly to protect themselves.  Can’t have the kid posting stuff about what dad is up to.

    17. we all know it s poison

      for more than a decade already

      the media are the only one that avoid speakinf out about it

      thia articles are juat proof of how corrupt and hypocritical they are

      Peter Thiel might not be the worst human to have ever existed, but he’s definitely made his way into the conversation.

      Keep in mind they’ve hired teams of PhD psychologists and medically-certified psychiatrists in order to design the most addictive material possible.

      To focus a bit on the youth, the most famous YouTube children’s channels are highly curated forms of visual crack available to baby and toddler brains. When I first watched one of them, I could see the poison seeping through the screen. The rapid cuts. The colours. The music and sounds. Everything. They’re literally optimized in a clinical setting by measuring attention spans of children, while the experts rake in upwards of 25,000 USD per day for consultation.

      These people don’t care about billions of other children, as long as their kids are safe and their wallets are full. They know they have and currently are creating a generation of children with behavioural and development problems. This is only talking about the children, the effects on adults is also profound.

      It’s clear that unchecked social media has had a net-negative impact on society. As per usual, governments are 10 years too late, either through lobbied efforts or because they don’t comprehend the implications of technology in their old age.

      These „people“ know that what they’re selling is toxic snake oil, and they know most of you are dumb enough to keep buying it.

      I find this narrative mind numbing. They can afford to shield them or not from their products. I doubt it makes a difference. It’s like a rich person’s vegetarian or all meat lifestyle. It’s different when billionaires do it vs the avg salaried person. Let’s talk about taxing these mofos vs what they are learning their kids.

    22. It’s not just billionaires. Most people in the tech industry especially those who work on those products restrict their kids’ access to that crap. Never get high on your own supply

      Of course! You think owners of coal mines breathed that air and drank that water?

    24. Confident-Tomato6978 on

      That’s how it’s all worked, our government starts wars and they hide their kids from the frontlines.

    25. gentlegreengiant on

      Its not a surprising turn of events. Polticians pocket money from cutting public school funding. They turn around and find a nice private school to send their kids.

      Or like McDs CEO not wanting to touch his companies products. Its a tale as old as time.

    26. artbystorms on

      These goons are drug dealers, they sell addictive products to the masses that they would never want their children falling into.

    27. Like tobacco executives. It’s okay if other people are harmed, but not their own.

    28. anomanderrake1337 on

      That’s crazy, they also live liberally whilst wanting you to vote right wing.

    29. PeacekeeperAl on

      Aye they’re shielding them from all devices that can be used to call for help
