News came to me via
Mastodon ( a Free / Libre Social Media platform ) that apparently
Australian government just banned Social Media to a certain demographic of people and the consensus is that it is apparently a good thing. Social Media tends to be very bad these days. Due to
enshitification and mass surveillance of platforms such as Facebook and
Ex-Twitter you can give a pretty solid argument why banning social media all together will make things better. But I fail to see nothing else but an expression of
age-discrimination in this ban, when not all people are banned, but only children.

It is
estimated that by 2030 the child-surveillance industry will grow to $500 billion. An industry that capitalizes on bogus fears and causes anxiety in parents and children ( for different reasons ). And an industry that is both directly and indirectly causing the privacy nightmare that we are experiencing. On many levels the industry itself is causing much more damage than good. Here is a short summary of the damages it is causing and how to deal with them.
