If you got to write legislation to "protect young people online" and it will be passed and enacted in good faith what, if anything, would you propose?

Here are mine:1. Funding to develop and deploy CS curriculum for K-12, learn about passwords, online safety etc.2. A program to help schools set up their own social media with student-run moderation. (Student councils set the rules)3. Funding to monitor, track down and investigate people who target young people online.4. Update child labor laws to better cover "family channels"5. Investigate the issue of online "influencers" and grooming. I don't know the best way to address this one.

@futurebird one of the few things KY got right is formally banning phones in schools. Doesn’t change their online behavior *outside* of schools, but it does force them to have a period of no screen time and to have to cope with that.Alternative pitch that actually addresses online content: begin formally controlling addictive design in social media and gaming. Any other addictive thing (gambling, substances) is legally controlled, but not digital concepts. Seems like a temporary loophole.

@futurebird If I seriously wanted to protect young people, four things need to happen:- ad ban (ads are malware in multiple ways. All advertising everywhere dies the death.)- public search facility- postal banking payment processor, complete with identity management/truly anonymous single use identity tokens- replace the back end with something designed, and designed in a way which recognises this is long term infrastructure. (open formats, open protocols, etc.)

@guitargabe "One of the few things KY got right is formally banning phones in schools."Honestly, as a teacher, I feel this is a sledgehammer solution. Basically it's more work to teach young people how to have a phone on their person and use it in a polite and socially acceptable way. My students all have phone and they keep them in their bag. We have rules and enforce them. But if my classes were larger I could see how this would be a problem. But the real problem is that class size IMO.

@guitargabe Also, I just think it's a safety issue. If a student needs to use a phone during the day because of an emergency it should be easy. Having worked in a school with a "no phones" policy I felt that the whole system of checking phones in and out was almost worse that keeping up with the rules we have at my current school where they may have phones, but if they get 3 strikes we talk to their parents about if they are ready to have a phone at school.

@futurebird I mean, I 100% agree with this, but I don’t think KY is going to rapidly change their education funding any time soon, and class sizes here are nuts (my wife teaches, her sister teaches, I’m occasionally in classrooms for music ed stuff). Until now, teachers have had to, as individuals, enforce phone policies that were not backed by state or district policies. Now there is a clear ban, which takes that losing fight away from the overworked teachers.

@futurebird Provide the tools to allow users or their parents to control access for particular devices. We have had the technology to remotely control access to devices for years, every company that provides devices has some security on them to monitor and control usage. If the government ensured that everyone had access to this technology in an easy to use form then it seems that would solve the problem.I am not sure exactly what this would look like. My preferred solution would be a fork of a free OS like grapheneOS with a government curated allow list of sites, but pushing this problem to the network operators could be an easier solution, and allow the bill payer to choose the access levels of individual devices at the point of purchase.

@guitargabe I dislike things that make schools feel more like prisons and to me this is one of those things. Ideally a school should be a nice place where you want to be. This is just another reason for kids to hate being there. That makes me sad. I don't think it's bad if little Timmy wants to check to see how well his video is doing at lunch. For many students their phone is their only computer.

@guitargabe That camp that flooded had a "no phones" policy that played a role in their inability to evacuate. During several schools shootings student phones were the *first* to get word to the police. Phones have also helped students to expose abusive teachers. But less dramatic: There aren't really pay-phones anymore. If a kid needs to text their parents I think they should be able to without someone hovering over their shoulder. (As long as I don't see them during my lessons.)

@futurebird @guitargabe I totally agree. New Mexico just passed a regulation banning cell phones in classrooms, and I’m really bothered by that as a parent.I also don’t think it’s a strategy that helps them learn how to develop healthier relationships with technology. There was a good discussion on this on NPR disputing Haidt’s premise that cell phones are causing mental health issues (causal claims are usually statistically suspect). They countered that instead…

Making money off of those people and not wanting it to stop?Frankly my faith in law enforcement is low, but I have stumbled on so many disgusting little corners of the web *without* looking I would hope that there would be fruitful work to be done in that area.

@futurebird Sorry but I have to disagree on that one. If you've ever seen a bunch of teenagers with phones you know that allowing that in a summer camp completely changes the entire social dynamics by, erm, taking away much of the "social" partIf you want to retain some way to text then maybe smart watches would be an option. But you have to eliminate access to social media if you want anything else to go on besides a couple of kids complaining every time you interrupt their Tiktok consumption

@futurebird @guitargabe Class and school size. I don’t think schools should be bigger than what allows a principal to know the students. I know they argue about pooling resources, so the bigger the better, but if kids matter, find more schools and make sure teachers have adequate support with regards to pay and resources.

@archroadkill I'm a teacher and I've taken kids on camping trips. They all had their phones. We told them that this was meant to be an offline time and their phones would need to stay in their bags. I had to tell two students to put them away and threaten to take the phone of one who did it again. Some of them used their phones in their sleeping bags after lights out, but most didn't. I didn't bother to enforce that one since during the day they forget the phones even existed.

@archroadkill Also important when I was doing a head count before getting on a boat to go back to the mainland I couldn't find one student. (The level of panic I was feeling was extreme.)So I called them. (I have all their numbers in my phone, and a group text where I could blast them all with a text quickly. Didn't need to use that one.)I LOVED being able to just call them. (They were back talking to the candlemaking guy and came running right away.)

@archroadkill I do think there can be something freeing and wonderful about "disconnecting" but I don't think one really feels it if someone else is forcing you to do it. This trip was middle school. The seniors *decided* that they didn't want any phone use on their bus ride as we let them decide what rules they wanted for their class trip. (up to a point)

@futurebird I am glad to hear that it worked out this way for you.The kids I know mostly would never voluntarily give up or even reduce their social media use. Mostly because that is what many of them think is the way they are connected with friends. They were essentially trapped before they ever realized it.You really have to force them to experience life without it before they'll even talk to you about it being an option.

@dalias @DavyJones Until around age 13-15 kids should use internet protected with age-appropriate white lists IMO. School internet should have whitelists developed by teachers and with student input. Younger kids under age 10 should use internet mostly with supervision. Some parents will want to limit white lists to impose their values in various ways. Some of this is probably harmful. But I doubt that the internet rules are the greatest source of harm in those families.

@dalias @DavyJones When you have a hight level of trust in your relationship with young people the appreciate this kind of protection ... it's not just that there are gross and scary things out there but for younger kids many things online aren't made for them and can be too difficult to use. So just like having a "children's section" in a library you curate content for them. It's a big responsibility and something I take very seriously.

@dalias @DavyJones Some school libraries have the same problems. It depends on the school community. Our parents and teaches don't block such content in the library or online. But we do use a white list for middle school and a black list for HS (most of what is blacklisted are big social media sites, a list we get of general phonographic stuff from service and various games that the student council asks us to block because they are distracting)

@futurebird It’s funny, what comes to mind is just ways to have kids understand and interact in the world, online and off, better. Good, comprehensive sex ed that involves discussion of consent, patriarchy, exploitation. Good afterschool programming and, for older kids, job opportunities. Sports, debate, auto shop, home ec, babysitting, working in a shop, etc. Stronger communities that involve families meeting up for play and dinner. So good parks, well designed cities, an education campaign around the value of dinner and time spent together.

@futurebird @archroadkill I'm with you 100%. Of course I'm an anarchist and I generally don't like anyone banning anything at a government level. I think it's fine to enforce contextual community rules, I think it's even better to explain the reasoning for the rules and get consensus and buy in from those who are supposed to follow them. It's even better if the things you're doing are in fact more interesting than scrolling Insta... My kids understand when phones are and are not appropriate

@futurebird These are good suggestions. The one I've heard that I think would protect everyone, not just kids, is to formalize "freedom of speech, not freedom of reach." Section 230 prevents platforms from being sued for defamation or fraud because of user content, on the theory that they're like the phone company. But I think as soon as they are amplifying posts they are more like a newspaper. I think we should able to sue them for stuff that they have artificially increased the reach for.

@futurebird @josh0 @archroadkill When we took 16yos on a 10 day bus trip/camp, we kept their phones & handed them out every few days when for half an hour or so for contact with home. When we had an emergency evacuation one night, due to a small grass fire that was quickly brought under control, our kids gathered quickly & quietly. Another school group were in chaos, with kids running around on phones telling parents they were going to die in a bushfire. Admittedly school shootings aren’t a thing here. (Australia.)

@astronema @DavyJones @dalias @futurebird At a time when queer and trans kids are being targeted by media and legislation, it seems absurd and dangerous to try to further isolate them, and tear away and support or education they may have online.It's somewhat disturbing that all the solutions provided in this thread are attempts to digitally control and isolate kids while never acknowledging that kids become young adults quickly, and that we live in a connected world where you can never successfully digitally isolate kids entirely. Teachers, themselves, are woefully ill educated on technology, social media, AI, and online economics. Frankly, you would probably be better off having teenagers hold classes for teachers explaining how social media and dynamics work online. We keep trying to reject or restrict technology we all use daily under the guise of "child innocence" instead of treating children as complex human beings who need guidance to become competent adults.

@nicholas @dalias @guitargabe IDK if I think my students are jerking me around with technical excuses I will just say as much. The rules are to make the class enjoyable and educational. They don't have any intrinsic value beyond that. If you have a family emergency and need to take a call. Take the call.

Upon reflection, I think that works. If the consequence of breaking the rule is 'explain the situation to the teacher and accept their judgment' I think that is sufficient stakesto align the incentives.

@nicholas @futurebird @guitargabe @dalias > This "breaking the rules should have no consequences if it is warranted" meta is a psyop.And yet look at jury nullification when it is warranted.

The process is the punishment submitting to the jury's judgment is the consequence.

@nicholas @futurebird @guitargabe @dalias In countries where going to court isn't instant bankruptcy, usually the sentence is considered the consequence.

@nicholas @futurebird @guitargabe @dalias In USA not getting murdered by the cops before ever making it to court is apparently almost one, so I understand the disbelief.

@lispi314 @dalias @futurebird @guitargabe @nicholas also, after researching more about the "marketing companies" around here i actually understand why you're so big mad at copywrite law.

@futurebird @guitargabe This is absolutely correct. In my day we had pay phones in the cafeteria, the gym, the library, outside by the bus port, by the ball fields, everywhere. So if you needed to call someone in an emergency or just because you didn't feel safe in front of the principal or with a teacher hanging over you, you could. Now that the only non-mobile phone is in the office, there has to be some accommodation for kids using their phones.
