[QUOTE="Beerus, post: 1451, member: 1"] I think a good step at this point would be to teach kids, like 10+ the importance of self control when it comes to online entertainment. Kids and dare I even say most teens shouldn't even be on social media. Adults should really take the responsibility of not abusing online websites as a whole. If we start throwing in regulations and laws, the internet will get messy real quick. I don't like telling people to do with their time so I wouldn't want it done to me or anyone else. There just needs to be a more public awareness of how damaging social media is to many, many people out there in terms of mental health. Problem is, these social sites won't address it because they would lose massive amounts of money if big numbers of people stopped using their sites. I miss the Myspace and AIM days of the internet. Nothing was mainstream and day to day socializing, at least 80% of it was done in person or on the phone. When socializing online became the "norm" is when everything got out of hand. We have a lot of people out of touch with general communication now. A lot of right is wrong and wrong is right too. Just not good for communities as whole. [/QUOTE]
