Locking kids out of big internet platforms is not the solution to commercial bad actors, we should optimize algorithms instead to make them safer for kids
Joi Ito / Wired : Tweets: @bjorn , @camerondare , @faeriedevilish , and @nxthompson Tweets: Bjorn Larsen / @bjorn : But until “we” can do that (probably never), we should probably keep kids off as much as we can. http://twitter.com/... Cam Adair / @camerondare : Kids watching YouTube *is not* the same as kids watching TV. YouTube is an algorithm optimized to exploit your psychology in the name of profit. Parents and policymakers need to be more involved to keep our digital playgrounds safe. http://twitter.com/... Mariel Garca-Montes / @faeriedevilish : “Given the complexity of the issue, is the only way to protect young people to exclude them from the grown-up internet?” Insightful reflection by @Joi on algorithmic justice for children - one that brings an internet that fosters intergenerational learning http://www.wired.com/... Nicholas Thompson / @nxthompson : No, don't try to shut the big Internet platforms off to young people. But, yes, do change the algorithms to make the platforms safer for them.
