How the social media ban could reshape how all of us use the internet

Why some argue the social media ban could have a profound affect on how young people gain new knowledge and the rest of us move around online

There is no scientific consensus that these kinds of bans even help, there is evidence they may hurt, none of this is actually about the kids and how badly they are doing.

NONE OF IT.

Over 50% of Internet traffic is bots. How do you sell advertising? By verifying your userbase is human. How do you do that? See above...

Like stopping the use of any app that suddenly requires me to show my face. No, thanks! Fuck that.

I would simply stop using the internet if there is no way to circumvent the surveillance. There is a reason things such as Meshtastic are gaining traction.
