Discord is great (ignoring privacy concerns) for playing games and chatting with some friends. But, it’s crazy that so many people seem to think it’s good for more public information sharing and support.

Primitive is a relative term. As long as we continue to progress, we won’t be primitive for the current time. But, would be considered primitive in the future.

Well there wouldn’t be much point to the Great Chinese Firewall if lots of uncontrolled information was flowing in and out through social media.

I could understand that. But, with a bit more context from the article (that I should have included), it’s talking about the criminals that are targeting specific individual children to assault them.

When a parent is anxious about the child enough to install a bloody tracking app. The parents is giving the data about the child to the criminals.

That sounds unlikely and more paranoid than the parents who would install those apps… How many criminals are going to data brokers to track their child targets?

Sure, but use it constructively. Don’t let it hurt your mental health without providing any positive impacts.

I heard about this before and from memory, that’s how this started. People were researching why adult teeth weren’t growing and were looking for what could make them grow.

What’s wrong with sharing Snopes?
