Teens and young adults are easiest to brainwash

The first tranche for dealing with a flood is to turn off the tap. Tech companies need to be held to account, and build proper limitations into their platforms.

My poor sons will never be allowed online at this rate.

Seems like it should receive a bit more attention, but not via the "ban 16yo's from social media" brainfart. I'd argue that policy would have turned a lot off the very real fears behind it.

How new is that? Targeting alienated young men and radicalising them is age old practice but young adolescents are easy to catch doing something because they don’t understand to be hiding it. Kids graffitiing half-baked violent fantasies keeps ASIO busy but probably not high on a risk matrix

very stressful as a teacher + parent!

if you make certain types of thought a crime people who have those thoughts are criminals.

cameronwilson.bsky.social•81 days ago

idk man this doesn't seem great

kels316.bsky.social•81 days ago

all thought crimes. Wake me up when a child shoots up a mosque, or takes hostages in a CBD cafe.

What’s wrong with them? Same in America, 1500 insurrectionists jailed but not one inciter, funder, organiser got touched.

When in fact it shd be middle-aged and young adult Zionists.

The kids are definitely not alright. Ripe for radicalization post pandemic, gorging on a constant torrent of internet hate, absent of hope for their future WTF else should we expect but disastrous domestic terrorism? Hello Christchurch killer was one of ours?!? AND fuck all is being done about it.

What does this mean for the issue of lowering/maintaining/raising the age of criminal responsibility?

ravirockks.bsky.social•81 days ago

What makes this all even more fraught is that the motivations aren’t distinctive, rather cocktails of ideological, religious, issue-based drives to violence.
