[QUOTE="Super Kami Guru, post: 1455, member: 22"] You're not wrong, it should be the parents that help keep kids in check with social media, and I also completely agree that there should not be kids or most teens on social media. It's a predator's paradise and easy pickings for the manipulative types that lurk in the darker parts of the world. I'd stand behind a means to regulate usage in terms of hours, though. Not [I]what[/I] you do or watch, but how much of it. A simple timer and then an automatic block to send you back to reality doesn't interfere with the site itself, and it doesn't introduce laws and regulations (often set by people who know NOTHING about it) that just screws everything up. That's just me, though, someone who doesn't really do modern social media. Yeah, back when AIM was all you had, most people hung around for an hour or two at most and then went off to do something. Now, people are constantly on social media checking on what people have said, how what they said is doing, or watching who is streaming what. It's ludicrous considering all of that used to be what we "nerds" did with our time. I was a strange person for liking the internet and spending time playing games back then...now, I'm the norm. It's a weird shift that happened... [/QUOTE]
