Problem: children are depressed, have nobody to talk to, and want to kill themselves

Solution: pervasive surveillance to make sure they learn that they cannot express themselves in any way, shape, or form, fully preparing them for the digital hellscape we've created

Like sure, the chat bots shouldn't be encouraging people to kill themselves or be used in the first place but this is 100% the worst possible response.

We don't treat kids right and this shit is part of the problem

And that's how you make sure these kids will never want to have kids of their own.

Because who wouldn‘t love to live in society where minors are being stalked by strangers for profit?

Apparently 96% of elementary school children now have laptops they take home from school? I'm glad I grew up in an era when we all had our own computers not owned by the government. 😂 It seems like absolute hell to be a kid these days. Constantly monitored and tracked by adults who want you to remain pure and innocent forever, not allowed to grow or explore anything on your own. And they wonder why kids aren't independent and don't want to learn anything.
