> Social media companies should be included also, considering how many children and teens are on social media platforms looking for sexual activity with adults.

No considering.

"Social media companies should be included also."

Period. Because in their current form and business model they're harmful to pre-adults.



On the latest Jonathan Haidt discussion here a parent posted a lengthy rebuttal about someone pointing out the various resources found on YT. Their a-yo and b-yo sons only watch utter trash, Mr. Beast, videogames, 10 minute ads, all that stuff, and they watch it for hours on end. What a terrible platform. They ought to be ashamed of themselves. I only do wonder who has custody of their kids, who handed them the iPads, who gives them internet access, and who watches them watch trash all day, day in and day out?


> a-yo and b-yo sons

What does this mean?


"a-yo and b-yo sons

What does this mean?"

a and b stand for "any number", then "years old"

eg 10-yo and 9-yo sons


I really don't get it then, why not simply write "sons" if the ages aren't relevant?


The usual format of the rant is the parent talking about their X year old son to accentuate the youth of the child involved
