    So we should ignore what’s happening to all of the other kids???

    By the way, LGBTQ+ kids aren’t immune to propaganda. The brainwashing works on them too.

      i never said that. i don’t know the balance myself, and social media can have very horrible effects, but my point was that it can also have very good effects, especially for those with less support irl

      i think there should be studies and meta studies and deep investigations before anything is done. afaik the research consensus on social media impact on kids and teens is very mixed.

        I accept your answers. I have harsh views on social media and I tend to ignore nuance when thinking about it. I feel for marginalized people, I wouldn’t want to see them lose the support networks they’ve developed through the internet.
