Considering social media was vital for getting the truth out of Palestine while the MSM repeated Israeli lies this is a terrible outcome.

News is dead anyway. Basically the only credible news source is political party newsletters, because at least they're honest.
That might not be a bad thing .
because so much so called news is just straight out harmful propaganda based on lies
Might be good thing as it is probably mostly fake news.
Ask anybody to explain the difference between a fact and an opinion to quage their level of understanding, sadly a lot cannot!
Like people who can read but struggle with comprehension.
They still have BTN... Oh, that got in trouble for an article with iffy figures.
A move to limit data is limiting data.
That said, an rss feed will probably not be age gated.
I'm not sure this is a bad thing... Social media really isn't where news should be obtained.
the goal was to prevent them from learning what isreal is doing to palesine and lebanon and it's working.
Israel is committing genocide, but I don’t think this ban was for that reason.
Also, I’m a dumbass and spelt genocide wrong, and I just noticed that iOS seemed to refuse to offer suggestions for correcting it no matter how I tweaked it. That’s weird. Maybe I’m overthinking it.
My friends who post “news” with links to Twitter always seem to post an aggregator account that just posts a screenshot and a blurb, never any links to further details or sources or reporting. I sometimes press them to share a better link.
What I’m saying is I don’t think the “news” is great on social media. Especially what teens might be choosing to follow.
There are way better places to get it
Oh no. They will have to think on their own and not be force fed bullshit. Whatever will we do.
I actually forgot about the ban until last week. All the kids are still telling us what the saw on tik too and such
