Brianna Ghey’s mother warns tech bosses more children will die without action

Tech boss? You mean like ebaum from ebaumsworld? Or even seedier places?

Unfortunately what do they care? Look at the CEOs of social media. They like us better dead.

While I do agree that the internet can and will make any issue a hundred times worse that it would be without it, I very much feel like her argument is just a rehash of the “video games make kids violent”-claim.

I noticed she singles out everything except parents.

I guess she assumes that parents are always willing and able to do the best for their kids and can’t be at fault if something bad happens to them.

Ghey is campaigning for the introduction of “children’s phones” with no social media apps, which are linked to their parents’ devices.

This would probably kill more trans kids than the current system ever could.

Kids phones, what restrictions you make to make them safe?.. No social media may make them safe but many trans kids use them to get support too Maybe you add a reminders that tell them “hey your phone isn’t all your life” although I doubt that will help too much

Yeah the only way to stop violent transphobia like this to crack the fuck down on the stochastic terrorism perpetrated by right-wing talking heads. They should be imprisoned for life, no parole, no nothing.

Unfortunately, that kind of bill won’t pass anywhere I can think of, and it’d be hard to enforce against anonymous terrorists.
