TikTok-Filmchen, Insta-Reels, YouTube-Shorts – einmal im Sog, vergehen Stunden. Der ständige Kurzvideo-Konsum schadet der geistigen Entwicklung und mentalen Gesundheit von Kindern und Jugendlichen - das zeigt und kritisiert die Bildungsforschung.#Schwaben #SocialMedia #ShortVideos #Reels #Lernen #Bildung #Facebook #TikTok #Schule #Forschung #Wissenschaft

Ich bin so alt, dass ich mich noch an die Zeiten ohne Social-Media-Rage erinnere. Ach, was das schön.
Algorithmische Plattformen einfach abschalten und die Welt wird eine bessere sein.

Last night I was invited to go on the @BBCNews channel with presenter Christian Fraser to react to the breaking news that #Meta & #Google had been found liable in a social media addiction trial in Los Angeles, brought by a young woman who claims she became addicted to social media as a child.
I had less than 15 minutes to get ready and I had to listen to the press conference and react to it immediately - so please excuse the messy hair 😅
Here are the main points of what I said:
📌This is a civil case. We need robust legislation, otherwise there is no precise US federal or state law that the tech giants have broken and they can keep appealing. You need to have a law in order to determine someone broke that law.
📌Right now, although we know there *is* definitely harm, the studies are inconclusive & only self-reporting. We need more studies and proven psychological analysis of harm to our young people.
📌We need our governments to stop being lenient with the tech giants and make it clear what specifically we expect from them, what tools and features we want to see, and we need to base that off specific stated harms.

Next week, we'll be at the Online News Association's annual conference 🗞️
@michael will be joined by @jaz as they look to introduce news audiences in the US to the power of the Social Web through their own custom news + social apps.
In a time where trustworthy journalism is critical but under more threat than ever, democratic social platforms offer an outstanding opportunity for journalists to take control of the truth.

Our report details how we can improve the online environment by empowering users.
Pursuing online safety in ways that preserve and even strengthen the dominance of Big Tech is a self-defeating mission.
We need to break these monopolies and push for competition through interoperability.

ORG calls on the UK Government to:
✅️ Uphold data protection law to tackle targeted advertising that fuel the attention economy and feed online hate.
✅️ Compel social media companies to be transparent about algorithms and give users control over them.
✅️ Introduce social media switching rights similar to banking and mobile phones, so we can change platforms without losing networks.

Social media giants have pushed engagement-driven designs to keep us on their platforms, so they can harvest our data for advertising revenues.
The landmark verdict against Meta and Google is a crucial step in acknowledging that Big Tech's harmful business models are creating toxic online spaces.
