TV and radio are not interactive. The interactive nature of social media makes is so damaging: you write a comment or post a video, and then you get a dopamine injection every time there is a like, reply or re-share.

I used to think TV is bad, social media is 10x worse.

C-SPAN and call-in talk radio shows. ;-P

In what way? Those are pull only and almost never directly attack children.

Depends on what you’re protecting the kids from. Ideas, actions, …

Individualized targeting. TV and Radio targeting kids would do so in a broadcast manner visible to others watching and thus would be easier to police.

A news Show doesn't have a broadcaster reaching out to young children...trying to rape them.

FTA:

> In a statement, Patterson compared social media to cigarettes.

> "Once thought to be perfectly safe for users, social media access to minors has led to remarkable rises in self-harm, suicide, and mental health issues." Patterson said. "The Texas legislature must act this session to protect children because, thus far, the social media platforms have failed to do so."

TV and radio have not been able to claim these same effects
