- Comment on UK study to examine effects of restricting social media for children 6 days ago:
Anyone who agrees to participate in the study probably already wants to be restricted, as they may feel social media negatively affects them, and want more help restricting it than their willpower alone. Then they will probably feel positive about the outcome.
Forcibly restricting unwilling kids will produce different outcomes that this study doesn’t seem to investigate (it would be unethical to force participation on kids who don’t want to participate in a study).
They will then try to generalise the positive outcome onto all kids, even though they didn’t study the unwilling ones.

Oh geez I just went and disconnected my TV from WiFi, I dunno why I had it connected in the first place, I use a separate box thingy for all the services. I’m getting so sick of constantly being perceived and surveilled by stuff all around me.

Because that’s the alternative universe where people are competent and think things through for more than 2 seconds before they do things.
