So wouldn’t addressing the underlying social conditions be an even more effective way of combating these problems? Adequate support and resources for neuro divergant at risk kids, better social safeguards, diversion and engagement for early intervention of kids showing warning signs. Instead of working with big tech, they could properly regulate and tax them and use the windfall to properly fund schools to maybe provide these kids some hope for the future.
Oh but then they wouldn’t get a surveillance apparatus they can use to monitor every moment their citizens spend online. Plus they wouldn’t be able to retire from public service to well paid consultancies for the big tech companies they have enriched… Silly me.
That would be socialism, which we all know is the devil, and would only lead to a totalitarian surveillance state… So the only option capitalism has is to build a totalitarian surveillance state, to protect our kids and freedom!
