Kids and teens should just be banned from social media and social gaming.

Disagree on the second part, more like limited, or better - separated. There’s no harm in playing games with friends or strangers, as long as there’s actual moderation or it’s just a chill community.

I don’t think it’s the fault of those games themselves, but the trends in videogame development and support (extracting as much money as possible with little support). And also there’s barely any enforcement when it comes to age ratings so it’s a double whammy.

I mean the lack of privacy directly fucking them over. They have already proven to be unable to extrapolate actions leading to consequences beyond like 1 or 2 steps.

I don’t think these people will ever realize anything, not until it severely fucks with their quality of life at least
