A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I'd prefer for kids to learn to navigate social media whilst they have access to adult supervision and oversight. 16yos aren't going to listen to their parents' advice.
That's why I started and continued to talk to my two sons about it from a very young age (5 years old). Now they are teenagers and don't have any online problems.
What did you go over?
It's not enough just to discuss it in the abstract, they need to interact with it in a controlled environment
I agree. One of my sons doesn't want to use social media (he tried several and didn't like any of them). My other son only uses Reddit to find interesting things and information in niche subjects (he rarely interacts with anyone on the platform).
