WHY does no expert of #cyberbullying and the other #childhood #mentalhealth issues caused by #socialmedia never mention the simpler, cheaper and most effective solution? #Parents, are you really that scared to adopt it?

Sick of social media? Listen to Sherlock Holmes then | Johannes Poortvliet
Marco Fioretti wrote about the need for #decentralization of our social media - and digital lives in general. Building a piece of hardware that contains your digital live has been tried - doing it in a virtual way is a interesting idea.
Of course, many questions persist, but the principle is sound. We need a way to really have full control over our digital lives. There have been technical projects like #Solid for example but I don't think the problem is technical.
The technology is not always easy to get right but the challenge is far more the market power of big tech and their lock-in of users. The reality is just that users have no choice to NOT use Whatsapp, for example. If the DMA & DSA would be really implemented, this problem could be reduced immensely and the technical solutions will become viable.
