| I admire your intentions, I genuinely mean that. I have children and worry about the horrible impact of social media too. But your methods are flawed. I'm not even sure I can follow the logic of your post. You're talking about doing school work on iPads at school, so we must make everyone give their personal identifying information to VPNs? How does that follow? The main problems I have with your methods: 1. You're forcing everyone in the UK to expose their personal identifying data to third party companies who *will* leak the data at some point. 2. You're forcing children to work around this and they *will* work around it and end up on websites that definitely do not have their best intentions in mind. I think your hammer approach is going to partly work, but have some extreme negative outcomes. Will you raise your hand for the harm this causes? I'd suggest digesting what I'm saying here, really looking strongly at your aims and think if there are better alternatives. Here is what I would like: Whenever a UK citizen browses a social media site, I'd mandate banners that advertise the harms of social media, and also mandate that they can view the algorithm that is being used to feed them. I plan on providing safe ways to browse the internet for my children when they're old enough. I'll give them their own VPN if needed, again with necessary precautions and education. |
