Parents told to delete social media apps to prevent kids from seeing Hamas atrocities — Facebook, X, TikTok and other social media services have been filled with graphic imagery::American and Israeli parents say they have received messages from schools, temples, synagogues and peers following the Hamas terror attack urging them to delete social media applications off their kids’ phones.
They should delete this crap regardless those atrocities because these apps simply suck and not only the kids, the adults too.

The only way to stop kids seeing bad videos on the internet is not let them on the internet.

Israel’s social media propaganda campaign has been super well-funded and is geared to really make people think that Hamas are the only bad guys here.
Just last night I was watching youtube with my kids and there was a commercial that showed horrible stuff in support of Israel.

Yeah I got those ads multiple times last night along with a random maga conspiracy ad about how a bad event is happening soon and everyone should buy gas masks.

tbf, getting it off the major mainstream platforms would make it less likely for the really young’uns to stumble on it.

Yeah, they should use niche sites like 4chan instead.

That only works if you’re the ultimate hipster and avoid anything popular simply because it’s popular.

So you’re saying there’s no way to stop it?

Pretty much no, if a child wants to see the videos.
Deleting social media apps would help immensely against accident exposure, though.
