Are you asking this Government to stand up to the American tech Bros who are poisoning our children (presumably, as rich white men, so they can be groomed for fucking?)

I admire your moxxy lady, but I'm not going to hold my breath with these Quisling Labour fascists....

The Guardian · UK should act to stop children getting hooked on social media ‘dopamine loops’By Dan Milmo

I listened to a podcast interview with #PeterThiel on youtube.com/watch?v=vV7YgnPUxcU "#AI, #Mars and #Immortality: Are We Dreaming Big Enough? | Interesting Times with #RossDouthat"

I never listened to #Thiel directly before. However, after this weird hour of thoughts, I doubt that he has a clue what the basic #philosophy of the #Catholic Church actually is (e.g., redemption by others vs. oneself).

It seems to be the case that he's just a weird person who happen to take away over 15,850 average lifetime salaries(!) from our society to invest in very problematic stuff where a few #Billionaires profit from and certainly not the society or human race.

Derived from that, you could argue, that he is a candidate for an #AntiChrist, not some (also problematic) girl who wants to save the planet. 🤷

The UK government is sounding more and more like “oh won’t SOMEONE think of the children” and it’s making me very suspicious.

A limit on “screen time” is like a limit on “telephone”. There is nothing inherently wrong with using a communication medium that has a screen. Kids are communicating with their real-life friends online. It’s the predatory companies who addict them and feed them endless hours of “engagement” material that should be curtailed, not their users.

Completely misguided.

Sky · Two-hour screen time limit and curfews for children being considered by governmentBy Tamara Cohen

What are the chances of this Labour government holding the Tech Bros who are helping the fascist insurrection around to task?
They'd rather lock up people protesting against Genocide than those who want to kill Refugees, they are not on our side

The Register · UK Online Safety Act 'not up to scratch' on misinformation, warn MPsBy Lindsay Clark

Just 9 households own 15% of the wealth of US Big Tech hub Silicon Valley.

A mere 0.1% of residents hold 71% of Silicon Valley's wealth.

At the same time, 110,000 households reported nearly none or no assets.

After the AI hustle collapses the next tech hustle will be Quantum Computing.

They'll watch the TV series Devs, and claim their product will build new Universes or something.
It won't work, it doesn't work like that, but that never stopped the Tech Bros.

@verge "But I think before we go about trying to change the nation or change the nation state, we should probably discuss that idea with the American people. So, in a nutshell, you have a group of super-rich elites with a very apocalyptic vision of where society and the world are headed, and they are rushing ahead with what they think is the solution, a solution that, by the way, will also put a crown on their heads."
