@gabrielesvelto or blame the parents for poor parenting

@gabrielesvelto 100% agreed

@gabrielesvelto it also leaves out the other half of the equation which is that children/teens are no longer permitted or able to move about the world independently with their peers. They can’t “go out and play” so what options do they have? Screens.

@gabrielesvelto And we are told to look the other way at what fox news has done to the parent generation.

@gabrielesvelto Same, I am fed up with this low-effort reporting that confuses problems with symptoms

@gabrielesvelto
Yes, it's called the Fundamental Attribution Error and it allows the system/perpetrators to continue to get away with what they're doing as long as our attention and efforts remain focused on the wrong thing. The system has become very good at distracting people.

@gabrielesvelto The thing about screen time is it's easy to measure and easy to restrict.

It's like looking for your lost keys under the streetlamp because the light's better there.

@gabrielesvelto It's also equating a medium (for reading, learning, social interaction, artistic expression, self-discovery, evasion of malicious authority, etc.) with one particular low-value use of that medium (brainrot drivel).
