  • NDOS21 hours agoIn addition to the delayed timing of the warning, it's astounding that this school is so behind or lax on keeping their systems up to date that the alert initially went to someone who hadn't worked there for 9 MONTHS. Thank goodness that former counselor had the integrity to do the due diligence of sharing the alert with current school staff.19ReplyTo revisit this article, visit My Profile, then View saved stories.

  • WILLARDB21 hours agoA problematic system being rolled out in problematic ways by ill-equipped districts who now live in fear of being sued by parents for not being aggressive enough in monitoring students. This is a terrible situation that is about to be made worse by lawyers.4ReplyTo revisit this article, visit My Profile, then View saved stories.CURVATUREReplying toWILLARDB11 hours agoIt's really weird to determine that lawyers are the problem here. Lawyers are the only way to hold companies accountable in a country that refuses to regulate business and protect its citizens. How else do you propose holding Google responsible? Congress certainly won't do it.1ReplyTo revisit this article, visit My Profile, then View saved stories.

  • CHATWIRED17 hours agoMy question is why is Google and other social media connections that you can get valuable information and support such as ChatGPT, AI and other are being blamed for things that people decide to do that may be harmful to them or others. It’s called accountability and responsibility and for a 13 year-old I’m not wishing any bad luck to her or family or others on theses sites - but why is the school, Google and others being blamed for what should have been stopped at home. If a child is going through hell and depression or other symptoms why isn’t that caught at home. Yes schools where the child is enrolled should pay attention but if signs are not shown there - conversations at home and isolation at home should be a sign you need to check on your child. I’ve used google and AI, but I also know that I can seek help from my doctors because I am a grown person with no parents. I feel bad for people that seek these social outlets for such but it is there for you to seek help as well, AI have had lawsuits left and right for things that parents should have monitored and stopped their young children having access to.. My question is why the parents are not being held accountable for not supervising their children’s laptops, and other tools used to get on social media. Why is a 13 year-old have that much access to harmful mindset and her parents not knowing about it. And yes things slip but to point fingers on a social connection it is not fully their solemn responsibility - I am going through a lot in my life and I seek the support from a couple of these media connections. But I know if I see something inappropriate I will stop or share my thoughts. Why is the social media sites getting in trouble for my question or inquiry- I think the parents should also be held accountable to some point if they’re not monitoring their children’s, computers, laptop or phone. Same if a child gets into a car and drive without a license is that the company’s fault? Please we Must all be vigilant and aware of all in your space. Let’s protect our children and families. Pray for every child and human being please do not seek harm.1ReplyTo revisit this article, visit My Profile, then View saved stories.DJS9PDReplying toCHATWIRED16 hours agoNot everyone has access to help. We don't know what this family's dynamic is either. Maybe the mother works two jobs and the dad is on third shift and things slip through. It happens. And these social media sites are designed to isolate you, make your slot machine brain feel like it's happy, and then keep you on there consuming fear and sadness. So I think it is a huge responsibility of both the social media sites and Google. They get away with a lot to harvest our data and make us depressed. Least they can do is pay the consequences for their billion dollar + industries.2ReplyTo revisit this article, visit My Profile, then View saved stories.Show more replies
