Media is media-ing again.
Blaming video games, music, or media offers simple answers but ignores deeper systemic issues like inequality, mental health, and violence. It's lazy, unsupported by evidence, and distracts from real solutions that require accountability and change. #moralpanic

Adding this to my watch list 👀👀
Of interest to those interested in the 'effects' of social media on youth mental health: a Channel 4 titled “Swiped: The school that banned smartphones” (Wed 11th Dec, 8pm UK).
They are labelling it an "experiment", so I'm interested to see how experimental it is!

In the time we've had a TikTok paper under review (not that long), one country has passed a bill to ban social media and a court in the US has rejected an attempt to appeal a law - paving the way for a TikTok ban. Our results = there will be no psychological benefits of a ban. osf.io/preprints/ps...

Before my late in life #autism diagnosis I had occasional emotional outbursts. These generally happened at home after a sustained period of pressure at school or at work.
When I discovered I was #Autistic I realised that these were actually what people call #meltdowns.

This is an excellent video on bot farms and how they’re trying to twist our perception of truth and reality

#Cyberpsychology
Very informative video provides a deep dive into bot farms on social media with a focus on Twitter/X. It's wild that at least 1/3 of the accounts are Twitter/X likely bots. It's a cesspool of inauthentic engagement.

Banning social media ≠ solving youth mental health issues. It's time for better, evidence-based policies rather than scapegoating social media. Teens need digital skills to thrive.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. A day to remember lives we've lost from anti-trans violence. After losing a friend (who happened to be trans) earlier this year, this topic is especially close to my heart. Trans-ness is to celebrate your true self and I will always be a fierce ally 🏳️⚧️

Thank you @tellynelly.bsky.social for your amazing inaugural lecture!
I love attending talks outside of my field, I found the topic of informed consent for reality TV participants and the exploitation of working-class people especially important.
