Meta is expanding its parental supervision tools for its AI solutions, providing greater insight into how teens use Meta AI in its apps.

In the new Insights tab, parents will see the topic categories their child has asked the AI about over the past seven days. The feature is being rolled out in key markets, including Australia."

NYRA members Zane Miller and Kelsey Duskie explain Parental Financial Exploitation - situations where high earning children (like child actors and social media stars) are robbed of their income by their parents. Listen as they discuss how financial discrimination against youth empowers parental financial exploitation, and the ageist flaws in state laws attempting to protect youth from exploitation.

Authoritarian islamist regime of Turkey passed social media ban in parliament, all it needs to become law is signing by president who approves the ban. If you're from Turkey remember to make VPN account.

Is sad how abuse against children is normalized on social media. I just seen a comment justifying child abuse to raise kids right.

"Children are inferior than adults and don't have rights"

Now you might think people don't actually say this. Nope. I actually had a 17 year old say this to me. That's what he used to justify slavery (aka. mandatory school)

Anyways, this is a dehumanization tactic and what they use to justify this is saying they're underdeveloped so that means they're inferior and they should obey the adults

X is inferior than Y, always has been used to dehumanize people.

Also children aren't owned, just because you're their parent DOESN'T mean you own them.

Humans should NOT be owned so children aren't owned, teens aren't owned and adults aren't owned.

Some rules are enforced as principles for a better community and a decent, moral and coherent movement, but some are also enforced from Reddit’s rules, it’s not about agreeing or disagreeing, we are forced to follow and enforce Reddit’s rules, so our community doesn’t get banned.

One of those rules I see super often not being followed is the rule 6, so some clarification.

Reddit is very strict on the rule about “sexualization of minors”. What’s this means:

Please, be very careful speaking of adult minor relationships, it’s acceptable by us and Reddit if you speak for small age gaps (like of 1, 2, 3 years). But advocating for lowering the age of consent or speaking in favor of excessive age gaps will get us banned and strictly forbidden.

Generally avoid things that could sound abusive or pedophilic mainly speaking for “lowering the age of consent” and for “excessively large age gaps”. Again other aspects of teen sexuality like teens dating teens or small age gaps are fine, as long they are treated with maturity and zero creepyness.

Again, it’s Reddits rules not ours, additionally we still want to draw a red line on ethics, because indeed large age gaps should be treated with caution and allowing teens to date excessively older individuals can lead to abuse and other bad things.

They say “Youth Rights is a pedophile safe heaven” or “Youth Rights is full of MAP”. We all need to end that stereotype, it keeps up very back from success and also makes us a hated movement. We need to end these allegations and be firm on our commitment against large age gaps and abuse of this nature.

Supporting teens freedoms and their right to date peers is more than valid and the right thing to do, but supporting abuse which includes large age gaps should be fully unacceptable, at least age gaps should be treated with extreme caution, research and a case to case basis. And again remember Reddit’s rules, it’s not us.

You can see details in our rules, we say it exactly as it is.

Additionally, for any question, feedback, or anything else, I’m here both to help and answer questions.

Have all a nice day and keep advocating for Youth Rights !

It is hardly surprising that, for many young people, the word ‘politics’  continues to provoke a strong reaction. It is becoming something that is increasingly difficult to grasp or even connect with. Supposedly, the system is designed to represent us all and create a fair, sustainable society, but instead it appears unresponsive, performative - and it ultimately fosters division, where blame is shifted around within the public like pass the parcel. How is this generation expected to shape the future? 

One of the clearest reasons for this increasing distrust lies in the repeated failure of politicians to deliver on their promises. This is not something that should be dismissed lightly, as it creates a sense of disillusionment for many people. It is essential that the public feel as if their vote carries genuine weight. Without it, the democratic process of voting becomes meaningless and that itself is dangerous. 

Key relevant figures such as Keir Starmer are a prime example of an individual seen to reposition himself on key issues. Pledges made regarding economic and social reform, human rights and climate justice, were all abandoned. The list goes on and this pattern is reflective of political culture worldwide. 

For today's generation, trust is further eroded by the relentless visibility of political scandals online. It has become increasingly difficult to simply ignore the political controversy, as we are constantly exposed to the ongoing realities of politicians' behaviours. For instance, the widespread coverage regarding serious allegations and legal cases involving Donald Trump. This actively reinforces the beliefs that political misconduct is common. If individuals facing serious legal scrutiny can still rise to positions of power, what does that suggest about the state of modern politics? What has become of political accountability?

Since people these days keep on coming up with diagnosing everything as a addiction. This article goes into detail why labeling everything that people overdo as a addiction is actually more harmful than helpful.
