> Radical plan to ban California kids from social media moves forward despite concerns from privacy advocates https://nypost.com/2026/04/23/us-news/controversial-plan-to-ban-kids-from-social-media-pushed-forward-by-california-lawmakers/

Dems are pushing this trampling of #CivilRights and #privacy rights, and then they wonder why they have a hard time getting votes. In end, kids will find a way around it, and all this does is make burdens for the rest of us. And if I was the opposing party, I'd be cultivating those kids for votes now.

I have a theory that bad data from autoplay is creating a perception that people are more interested in super-short videos than they actually are.

How many times have you been on a website where a video autoplays, or you've finished watching a video and another one autoplays.

How many times, when that happens, have you either automatically hit the stop button (if one exists) or left the website?

Think about the number of people who do the exact same as you.

Each time that happens, the average watch time gets shorter.

For example, imagine there's a 10 minute video. One person watches it right to the end. Then three people who never wanted to see the video are shown it as an autoplay.

The average view time across those four people is now around 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

Except in reality, only one person actually watched it, for the full 10 minutes. The other three stopped a video they didn't want to see because it autoplayed as quickly as possible.

Yet what the person who saw the video sees is the average watch time in 2 minutes 30 seconds. So they try to make the next video 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

My suspicion is, on some social media platforms, this is far more common than people realise.

Over time, the received wisdom becomes that people only have short attention spans and will only watch a 3 minute video.

In reality, the people who are actually interested will watch the full 10 minutes if it's compelling, and the actual number of people watching is far lower than the stats suggest.

We've probably all been let down at some point either by individuals or organisations who, in our opinion, have lacked integrity. It can leave us feeling hurt and emotionally bruised.

💬 But what is integrity? ...

I visited 4 social media sites today, but spent most time on exTwitter, because that where the most stimulating conversations were happening.

The other sites were Facebook, Mastodon & BlueSky. Quite a lot on BlueSky "liked" my posts, but didn't say much about them.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@AwetTesfaiesus/116452226201997678

Of the perverse effect of #AI: complete loss of #trust on everything you see, sunk time verifying every piece of #socialmedia #news, and the death of #citizenjournalism.
I still don't know whether this picture is AI generated or not. I wasted time finding the source, only to wonder whether SyriaNow is actually linked to #AlJazeera or not.
Basically being exhausted now, I have the impression AI killed the ability for people to organise & fight back by poisoning both #media structure & #content.
