    No empathy for grieving parents? Maybe I’m just getting old.

      You can have empathy while simultaneously realizing they obviously have no case.

      The article quotes an attorney representing the families saying that the videos were “material they can’t turn away from”. Come on, now. Those kids weren’t Clockwork Orange’d. Let’s return to reality.

        Objectively speaking, young and impressionable minds are more susceptible to falling for dark patterns.

          All the more reason for parents to be actively involved with their children, especially at those ages.

        It doesn’t cost you anything to refrain from using the word “morons” in this context… But I guess that’s just the empathy.

          That’s why I didn’t use it.

          That was “Mastengwe”. Pay attention to who you’re replying to next time.

          That goes for all of the people who upvoted your comment, too. Shameful.

            I agree, but unless you don’t let kids have friends, they will have access.

              my parents tried many times to revoke my access.

              The typical workarounds involved a trip to the dump to dig up some godforsaken machine, and maybe stopping by the library to burn an iso. Wireless adapter lacks an antenna? No problem, I’ll rig up a coat hanger/paperclip/random piece of wire.

              Don’t let your kids hang out with those who have parents you don’t know and don’t trust. It has worked for Christian parents for decades and it worked for my lesbian parents growing up in the conservative south.

            That’s old news. Always online is slowly being pushed even by governments because it’s easier to track citizens that way.

          scroll up🔼1🧵. I adopted an adult in my polycule.
          Want to adopt more.
          I am responsible enough to supervise their internet usage, and they know to ask me permission to record themselves online with masks & filters.

        What kind of helicopter parents snoop on their children?

      no empathy for not being good parents. Now they are no longer parents.
