Tik Tok, Instagram, Youtube… Social Media is driving offline disorders among teenagers, suggests a large-scale report by French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (Anses).
Kind of sad. Teens have a higher rate of suicide because of the evil algorithms of social media and we as a society do basically nothing about it. I’m readings news about it since years and absolutely nothing changes. Why are we not forbiddening it? How much worse can it get??
When 9-11 happened the Fukushima I couldn’t tear myself away from the footage. Ended up being the same in Reddit with live updates, would have been the same with Tiktok I suppose but I never engaged on that.
I moved Youtube back to clients that only gave me who i follow, moved to lemmy/piefed.
I just want enough news to know what’s happening. I don’t need every gory detail or every opinion piece on it.

Why would we stop it? Despair is great for conditioning the next generation of
slavesworkers to accept abuse.Algos have us all doom-scrolling.
