Why isn't this corrected?
Big tech knows their platforms are especially harmful to teenage girls, so why don't they change?
Why isn't this corrected?
The going wisdom is that when you use Facebook you aren't the customer, you are the product being sold.
Salmon farms kill literally thousands of fish. But... Why WOULD they stop?
But, it's actually a lot deeper than that. I know a guy who's parents were spy's for the US government back in the 70's he told me "if you said someday you were going to have a database of everyone in the country, name, photo, a list of who they are friends with... What they like, their social and political views, where they work, their favorite restaurants, what events they are going to, What celebraties they like... Their private comminications... And these people were going to fill it out THEMSELVES... They would have called you crazy"
If Zuckerberg did invent Facebook, he was very quickly contacted and paid off by the feds. Long before it was popular.
But, MySpace and AIM and all that already existed. It's much more likely that it was dreamed and designed by the CIA to begin with and they came up with a cover story to launch it through college campuses.
Why don't they care if it hurts little girls? Because they literally made hundreds of millions of dollars selling out democratic revolutionary leaders to the Libian and Tunisian dictators who tracked them down and murdered them... And that was just an added BONUS.
Facebook does not exist to make little girls feel good about themselves. The game now is to dissolve everyone's confidence and cause unrest.
Facebook is working exactly as intended.
My question is, WHY DO THEY STILL USE IT THEN?
"DOCTOR DOCTOR, WHEN I SMASH MY DICK INTO A CACTUS MY DICK HURTS!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY CACTUS, WHY DOES IT KEEP HURTING ME?"
"Literally nothing. But there is something seriously wrong with your mind."
Just don't use Facebook. Be yourself. Don't base your entire identity on weather or not the CIA approves of your posts enough to make you famous. They don't want young people thinking for themselves. They don't want people to have self esteem.
The number one factor on a man's self esteem is... How he feels about his job and/or income. The number one factor for women, is how they feel about their appearance. You can't shut down posting selfies on social media, but you sure can control the response and the number of likes they get.
They want everyone to feel weak and fight eachother. Makes it easier to control everyone and gather all the resources to the top before the AI hits.
Call me crazy, but I'm 100% correct.
That's the answer to your question.
It's not that they don't care, it's that the plan is working and people keep smashing their dicks into the cactus and expecting the cactus to change because it hurt their feelings.
My dad told me you could kill a wolf by sticking a knife in the ground blade up and putting a few drops of blood on it because the wolf will lick it once and keep going till he gets it clean. And he'll bleed out before that happens.
My dad wasn't a spy. He used to work on chemical weapon contracts for the DoD.
People need to wake the fuck up. That's the problem.
Asking why Facebook doesn't change is like asking why bombs kill people. That's... Literally the device working as intended. Why are you still letting your daughter put her tongue on it?
But hey, don't take my word for it. @MCheetah posted this just the other day.

If you think about it. You'll see the pieces fit together and the bigger picture will answer a lot of your questions.
Why the virus, the lockdowns, the murders and divorce...
Just watch the Russian guy explain how to take control of a country with psyclogical warfare.
Everything is working as intended. People are too stupid to realize that and unplug.

When asked why they hadn't looking into it further and made changes, Facebook's head of safety said "That's not research that we could do easily"
You’re talking about the same group of people that talk about depopulation, widely support abortion, and censor scientists/doctors that point out the medical dangers of an experimental vaccine. Girls feeling bad about their bodies are less likely to have sex. Less sex equals less babies.
It's a growing industry bringing in the $$ greens. It's business just like porn film or cigarettes it pay. They get richer off of people and it doesn't matter to them whether it's harmful or not. My tween has been begging for a snap chat Instagram or Facebook account and I have refused to yield. Eventually she will get one on her own time but while I can still have a say in it I tell her not yet. I can't say no or never because I know that will cause her to rebell. So I simply say be patient. When you older. But I do tell her the moment she has one it's will be the same rules as the phone. I have access to the passwords and the lock screen on her devices. I have random check in days and times where I will simply say pass me your phone/tablet. The day she refused to hand it over is the day I'll cut off her phone bill. It's our agreement. Slight freedom with constant check ins.
Thank you for the mhg 🙂
I don't think that's limited to girls. Just look how many guys on GAG think they'll never get a girlfriend because they're not 6 foot tall and muscular. The problem isn't new, girls have been getting depressed about their image since the days of black and white silent movies. But one thing I've noticed with girls obsessed with their image is they don't have much going on upstairs.
@purplepoppy. I completely agree.

They don't let their own kids use these... why do we allow kids use these platforms? These corporations are about making money.
Girls have always obssessed with their self image since there is no proper parental structure and after these fashion magazines came to place.
I don't let my kids use f/b or inst. or... etc...
My ex. messed up when I told him i only allow flip phones for kids.
Since he is a tech geek. He got them smart phones/ipads... due to lock of supervision... our daughter became a victim to online sexual predator for 2 years.
I am fine with govt. locking down these sites to kids. However, it doens't change the fact that a lot of women are messed up and a lot of men are into messed up women due to lock of social structure and family value dead.
Social media is only part of this.
Social media is harmful to every gender, let's just be honest about that. A lot of people have a chance to speak their mind, but I doubt they took any amount of significant time to.. you know... actually think.
In the end, we are product to these companies. We get a platform to shout our opinions from the mountain tops. Lives get ruined over a single post. Corporate America gets richer off our misery. The cycle moves on until they find the next thing to exploit us with.
My question is why parents don’t control their child’s activity online.
@Subarugirl Yes, I agree, but I think much of the damage is done in an insidious manner. Just setting aside the outrageously over-sexualized content, the constant portrayal of "perfect" and "popular" lives as the norm leave many feeling somehow inadequate. Plenty of adults (such as my ex) are very vulnerable to these absurd messages.
I'm not sure if the content posted by individuals, posting the "perfect life", or the platform which propagates it is the problem. How can we regulate "no posting perfect lives"? I really don't know.
I do completely agree that online activities of kids should be closely monitored as should every text and photo sent to/from their phones.
I think that you're also missing the point that it also negatively impacts adults as well as teenager, and both male and female. It's not just social media, it's media in general, advertisement, literature, etc.
You can not regulate how people present them selves, what you can do is have more dialogue about what is normal and what is glamorized. There are tons or people who have taken major strides in taking down that mask, showing what's real, what's normal, though most of the negative feed back I see come from men who doesn't think that a "normal" body is appealing.
Social media is tool, just like anything else. It's amoral, it's how people use it.
@Subarugirl No, I mentioned my social media obsessed ex who is a damaged adult. She always compares her life to the perfect Pinterest life.
Yes I am aware, you hate your ex and the she is personification of evil. We all know that at this point.
@Subarugirl Oh good, you get it!
You got get over it man... you can only be hung up on an ex for so long before it turns toxic
@Subarugirl. I am way over her. She opened my eyes to see the larger behaviour of women in relationships. Now I see how men are basically expendable units of production.
I mean if you really were over it, I feel like you wouldn't bring it up so much. And you still fail to realize that just because that may be been your experience doesn't mean it applies to everyone. You keep generalizing an entire gender, just because you had a shitty marriage.
@Subarugirl. No, not everyone, but you can see there is a very unhealthy dynamic in dating and marriage this day in age. Social media has weaponised female sexuality allowing her to have infinite options, decreasing her incentive to be faithful.
And who do you think is at fault for over sexualizing women?
Also male sexuality is just "weaponized" lol have you not seen those Calvin cline commercials? Magic Mike? Chip n Dales? What about those firefighter calendar shoots with the strategically placed puppies? lmao
@Subarugirl. Don't let your cluelessness show. Women know EXACTLY what they are doing when they prance around almost naked. Of course you are the one who wants to be topless and states men should not be aroused. This is just non-sense.
As for the male strippers and fire fighter catalogs these are a tiny fraction of the sexually explicit market place. Women are the world heavyweight champions in sexual exhibitionism.
Oh, but that's right, women do this for "other women"...**eye roll**
because men are predominantly visual.. you're upset because men and women's brains work differently when it comes to sexuality?
I still don't get why nudity makes you so uncomfortable.
Also I hate to burst your bubble but women do not exist for men, and nudity wouldn't make you so uncomfortable if you didn't overly sexualize women's bodies.
@Subarugirl I get irritated when you reject reality.
Also, I fully realize women do not exist solely for men ---- great projecting and deflecting there. Always the victim.
You will get less shit if you start to use common sense.
Honey, your opinions are not fact, your reality may not be the same as someone else's. I'm not the victim here, you're the victim of your own mentality. You should stop projecting your own failures and experiences onto other people, then get upset when they don't agree with you.
@Subarugirl You are 24? You have been an "adult" for only three years. I guess you don't have any comparison life experience, but if you did you would see how utterly foolish your statements are.
@Subarugirl Your son will grow up quickly and eventually be thrust into this environment. Will you shame him for thinking sexually about topless women walking around? Will you tell him a woman with a high body count is just fine? The bottom line is, will you protect your son and speak truth to him or will you throw him to the wolves?
I will hold him accountable for his actions and for how he treats people. Though at the end of the way I chose to parent isn't any of your business now is it.
What did I say that is foolish? Just because you don't agree with someone doesn't mean that they are foolish. You're 42 years old, haven't you been an adult long enough to not project your trauma onto others?
@Subarugirl "you will hold him accountable for his actions", but that wasn't the question, was it? You sound as if you already have hostility toward your son simply for being male.
There you go projecting again... I'm not going to answer leading questions.
The money is too good to try and correct the negative impact they have on the mental well-being of their biggest demographic. This is how all social media operates.
This is how all successful businesses operate, no matter the industry. The only time they are conscious about their impact on mental well-being, the environment, people, etc, is when the PR department lets them know they can increase profit by appearing to be more socially ethical.
@zeitgeist057 agreed!
Why should they? Did someone tell them to? Coerce them or else get fined? I mean it happened before but with "privacy" issues but still. They're not under the threat of being shut down or physically beaten.
In other words junkies are gonna be junkies and no one is really going to do anything about it because what for. Unlike with medical care their well being doesn't bring them any profit.
They are in it for the money. They just say that to save face
You never struck me as a man who doesn’t understand capitalism. Why are young folks on these social networks? If I had a kid I wouldn’t even let her browse GaG.
I feel like this is more a parenting issue. Just like teen shouldn't be allowed to watch X-rated movies, the parents can set rules about which sites they're allowed to use.
as much as I hate agreeing with feminists, this is why they won't change it
Crazy thing is... Romeo and Juliet was written before mainstream cosmetics were invented.
Guys aren't any more or less attracted to women than they were 500 years ago.
Two things went wrong, many guys started choosing women based solely off of trendy astetics, not social comparability, morals, ideology, values or even fitness and physical traits. Just 'who has colorful hair and cute clothes'
And I won't pretend I haven't fallen for that.
And women are so determined to one up eachother that invent more and more unreasonable standards until its normal for girls to remove their eyebrows and draw fake ones on instead.
They like to blame men for having unreasonable standards... But that isn't how it happened. Men didn't demand all that. Men wanted to have sex just as much 500 years ago.
It's like the baker blaming little kids for demanding more and more outrageous cookies when he's the one dreaming them up and putting them in the display case. He would have been happy with a regular cookie. He would have loved it. But, you put sugar coated M&M's in it and he's going to want that next time too.
That's not the kid being demanding. You did that to make an extra dollar because you knew it would work.
I don't find makeup to be attractive. I'd rather see a moderately attractive human than a painted doll any day.
I absolutely agree that social media companies are happy to degrade women in the interest of helping their customers make billions of dollars off cosmetics and buy more adds...
But I agree with the quote. It's not men who are unhappy with women's bodies. That's laughable. It's women who do this to themselves because it influences men, and because they expect it of eachother.
They raise the bar then complain about being expected to jump over it every day. But guys never really asked for that. It wasn't our idea.
And sure, there are a lot of men who sell makeup for huge profits... But why do women buy it?
You wanna know what looks best to a guy? Honestly... It's naked. Short of that, I prefer cool T-Shirts to designer anything.
Women are naturally beautiful.
The cosmetic industry makes billions throwing shade on roses and then painting them brighter colors when we'd all be happier without either one.
I don’t know enough about this issue to comment constructively. I would presume there are a number of products that sell to those who have negative body image and I’m presuming that’s why they don’t change.
Websites can't be responsible for people's personal life.
If it's harmful then the teens need to delete their accounts.
McDonald's isn't closing anytime soon because people are gaining lots of weight eating fast foods.
Agreed. Well said.
You generally irk me but you have a good point this time.
@Subarugirl: How do I irk you? Lol... I like you by the way. 🙂
Probably has something to do with my religious trauma
@Subarugirl: The Catholic demonic institution huh?
I wasn’t raised catholic. I was basically raised in a religious cult
@Subarugirl: That's very rough from psychological point, but that isn't a excuse to turn your back on God and the gospel.
Never trust no one regarding your salvation. Read the Bible for yourself and learn it.
God turned his back on us. I’m not a Christian. Nor will I ever be. I do however respect your choice. I just don’t want it imposed onto me.
@Subarugirl
I’m not sure what you’ve gone through, but based on how you’re talking it sounds like you went through bad stuff. I empathize with you.
Just a few things I wanted to state. If God turned his back on you then you aren’t and never were truly his. It is impossible for God to turn his back altogether on his own. Read the book of Ezekiel. In it God pronounces judgment on Israel but also already planned Israel’s restoration. He won’t abandon his people fully ever. Scripture says this:
“It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.””
â€â€Deuteronomy‬ â€31:8‬ â€ESV‬‬
“No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forsake you.”
â€â€Joshua‬ â€1:5‬ â€ESV
“Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?””
â€â€Hebrews‬ â€13:5-6‬ â€ESV‬‬
So it is quite impossible for God to truly abandon those who are his.
That said God will not hear the prayer of the sinner, save the sinner prayer and won’t hear the prayer of those who intentionally rebel against him and intentionally live in sin.
“If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.”
â€â€Psalm‬ â€66:18‬ â€ESV‬‬
In fact you can’t even voluntarily walk away from the Lord if you want to.
“I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.”
â€â€John‬ â€10:28‬ â€ESV‬‬
No one takes those who belong to Jesus from him, including yourself. You can’t walk away from him if your his.
““What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?”
â€â€Luke‬ â€15:4‬ â€ESV‬‬
@Subarugirl
I suggest with all humility you re-examine your theology if you are saved or ever where. That you repent and commit your life to Jesus as your lord and savior and that you cry out to him for salvation if you aren’t his.
God bless you. I will pray for you.
@Exterminatore god ordered the massacre of hundreds of thousands of men women children and babies. How can a just god massacre innocent children, infants?
I understand your faith. I really do. I grew up with my father reading from the Bible every morning praising the glory of god yet I have seen children try to work through why they were abused by parents and relatives who claimed to be godly people.
I refuse to honor a “god” who allows children to be raped, abused and massacred. I refuses to worship a god who ordered so much death and destruction. I refused to believe that a loving and forgiving deity would allow so much pain and suffering.
Your God has forsaken us. He has forsaken you. He allowed Job to suffer unimaginable things.
With all due respect, I believe in what can be proved. What can be proved is that “Christianity” has stolen from so many other religions and beliefs. I believe that the Bible is corrupt. That people will twist its message to bennifit themselves
@Subarugirl
Very well. I’m sad to hear what you believe and your choice on the matter. I’ll leave you be. I know you’re aware of the consequences of your choice. I hope for your sake you choose to repent before it’s too late. Have a wonderful day.
Power corrupts. Also most of the parents these days think it's okay to let big tech and random youtubers raise their kids.
You're coming from the assumption that "big tech" gives a damn.
They do not.
Because it would mean less traffic, less money.
They want the money.
Its not just teenage girls. Sean Parker said Zuckerberg designed it to be isolating and cause people to be depressed.
They try to encourage it while saying they are against it.
Because the world doesn't revolve around teenaged girls?
Because there is some pervert in there that’s like it’s OK
i won't let my kids have smart phones
It's all about the almighty dollar.
