not to sound like a conspiracy theorist but imo facebook is directly responsible for devastating the concept of internet safety

i’m not being hyperbolic - myspace did it a little but facebook was one of the first places it became normal to put your real name, face, personal information, fucking address and place of work on the internet, and more importantly it was the first place that the parents of the current generation of kids felt comfortable doing so

and once the adults were like “oh this is Normal” they stopped properly impressing the important of privacy and safety on the internet on their kids. theyre putting their childrens fucking baby pictures on the internet for anyone to see

i have WATCHED people in my grandmothers generation go from warning child-me about the (real! very very real!) dangers of sharing personal information online to actively encouraging me to do so to make money

it drives me crazy yall it makes me fucking insane. be careful for fucks sake
