      Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=Edx9D2yaOGs

      Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

      I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.

    I mean yeah we’ve known this for a while now but the phrasing makes it sound deliberately panic inducing

      So would you say that is unjust, seeing the massive effects and repercussions of this on society as a whole? As a father of a young girl I’m very happy to see more attention on this by news media.

        But as your father it’s your responsibility to limit her screen time. TikTok brain isn’t “coming for your kids” you’re enabling it.

        People act like taking away Internet is abuse and it’s weird

    Hasn’t it already?

    You guys try talking to people online outside the Fediverse (and even here sometimes)? It’s like Idiocracy is happening IRL.
