In Estonia c’è anche una Kallas intelligente: l’Europa dovrebbe regolamentare le grandi aziende tecnologiche invece di vietare ai bambini l’accesso ai social media.
Vietare ai ragazzi l’uso dei social media non funzionerà, perché “troveranno molto rapidamente il modo di aggirare il divieto e di continuare a utilizzarli”, ha dichiarato la ministra dell’Istruzione estone Kristina Kallas.
Grazie a @stefan per la segnalazione
Not to speak for @informapirata here, and maybe this could use a bit more nuance, but you really can’t argue these are the same things.
Internet is a necessity in today’s age, almost on the level of electricity. Many of us need it for work, to pay bills, to stay in touch with families.
And for many, being able to find friends and support online is, without exaggeration, a question of survival.

Internet and today’s social media are two separate topics. No one wants to forbid the Internet. On the other hand today’s social media do more harm than good and youngest is the mind, higher are the risks.
Instagram, TikTok, etc directly impact teens mental health. Not just. Their physical activity has plummeted, their fine-motion skills have alarmingly deteriorated to the point that we may not have surgeons in two decades.
@stefan @informatica @informapirata @mrphelz Internet is literally blind people’s eyes.
And the more and more policies which ask for a visual verification (captcha’s, selfies to verify identity, face recognition, video identification) is a very huge problem. They want to keep us more vulnerable folks off (blind and trans)
@elettrona Very good way to put it!
And just to add, many of us do see what is going on and will put up a fight. ✊

@stefan @informatica @informapirata @mrphelz I’m very angry with all this shit (let’s call things with their appropriate name)
