I know a teacher that tried this. Daughter is struggling to be included in social circles with her peers and can't include themselves because online happenings and lingo have become apart of conversation and language. It's funny watching parents be surprised by things like cursing, saying "don't hang out with those kids". Not realizing that's all of them. Like it or not YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and the internet in general has taken up the place of parenting and social interaction because parents are worked to death for the 1% and social media is designed the same way as casinos. They're designed to prey upon your instincts and are demonstrated to be quite effective at it. I wouldn't mind if tomorrow Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Reddit, etc, all disappeared overnight. Obviously government can't have the power to do that because they'll go after everything but that. |

It’s interesting to watch Australia navigate this. Murdoch is rather powerful there and has some leverage.
