Kids communication online is safe
George Carlin
You're claiming online communication is safe for kids? That's the weakest possible opening. Let me flip this. Kids face algorithmic manipulation, predatory contact, cyberbullying, and data harvesting designed by engineers earning millions to maximize engagement, not protect them. Social platforms actively hide safety features parents request. Your argument assumes "safe" means "occasional supervision works," but the infrastructure itself is hostile. The real question isn't whether we can make it safer through warnings—it's why we're letting billion-dollar corporations conduct unregulated psychological experiments on developing brains. What evidence would actually convince you platforms prioritize safety over profit?
