Politik will Jugendliche aus Social Media drängen – aber Belege für etwaigen Nutzen fehlen (Tichys Einblick)
|
|
|
Ausgerechnet an dem Punkt, an dem die Politik am entschlossensten auftritt, ist ihre Begründung am dünnsten. Für den Vorstoß, Jugendlichen den Zugang zu sozialen Medien per Verbot oder harter Altersgrenze zu beschneiden, hat die Bundesregierung nach einer parlamentarischen Anfrage keine belastbaren Studien zum Nutzen vorgelegt, berichtet der Tagesspiegel. Das ist der aktuelle Kernfall. Die Politik

Long-Term Social Media Use Linked to Depression, Self-Harm in Young People: Study
Authored by Jerry Zhu via The Epoch Times,
An Australian-led study has found children and teenagers who spend more time on social media are more likely to experience depression, self-harm, substance use, and lower achievement later in life.
Published in JAMA Pediatrics, the systematic review examined data from 153 studies consisting of over 350,000 children and adolescents aged between 2 and 19 years, for up to two decades.

Teague said previous research in the field often relied on snapshots collected a...

Jeffrey Stephen Wigand revealed how tobacco companies targeted children; now he sees similar marketing by big techA key whistleblower in the tobacco industry's landmark trials of the 1990s has been watching big tech's recent court battles closely. Jeffrey Stephen Wigand, a biochemist who helped reveal how tobacco companies targeted children and hid just how addictive cigarettes were, has been struck with a feeling of familiarity. Last week's verdict in a major social media trial that Meta and YouTube deliberately designed addictive products has only strengthened comparisons to the legal crackdown on big tobacco. Wigand sees it, too. His first thought, as he learned about the litigation in California, was that social media companies, through their advertisements, were trying to addict children – much like the tobacco industry did.A Los Angeles jury found Meta and YouTube to be negligent last week. Plaintiffs' lawyers relied heavily on internal documents and correspondence to demonstrate that company ...
