Maybe it’s different in Australia with it being a global north country but I wouldn’t be against this in my country with how all those apps are US propaganda machines and just churn out Pro-US right-wingers.
Kick, Instagram, Facebook, and Reddit can especially go to hell. No marginalized kid is going to Kick and coming out a better person.
We lack the infrastructure to host our own social media so the best we would be able to do is ban the foreign social media and build up our traditional media. We’re a very social country and most of the people living on those apps are wealthier shut-ins.
see this is the actual problem, the cart is being put before the horse.
banning teens from social media because of the insidious yankoid influence, instead of removing the yankoid influence
okay but kids can still use Baidu and their native websites this isn't that.
Australian kids should just learn Chinese.
Semi-serious, the kids here are so monolingual they're almost American.
True, especially in certain countries still using FACEBOOK or WHATSAPP for communication... ugh.
I agree with the other commenter, there needs to be an alternative before the ban, preferably a state-sponsored federation ecosystem like what Lemmy is.
