The French President said he will ban social media use for kids under 15yo. What do you think of that?

It is a very good idea. I would change it to sixteen.

There is too much porn, pedophilia, “sexting”, and nonsense for children on social media. All children should be supervised by parents when using internet, and not permitted to own smartphones.

@emiliya I think one of the main reasons is the anonymous bullying that goes on... The effect on mental health and self esteem

@Convivial Yes, children ought to be protected, although they must also not engage with the “bullies.”

@emiliya agree totally with you there.. Put down the screens and play and socialise

@Convivial There is so much we can do with our children. What has happened to our imaginations? We can teach them to play, read, cook, draw, paint, swim, ride a bike...

We can go camping, have picnics, learn about nature, visit the beach, and more. Even those with limited means possess the simple resources to educate their children, the most important resource being our minds.

@emiliya agreed.... We farmed out our responsibilities to big business.... The same as we did with food...
