"Instead of collectively exploring ways to make social media spaces largely free from violence and brutality, and building lightning rods, we invite those who are victims to develop avoidance strategies. To disappear. And while we lick our wounds and groom each other like internet renegades during a digital detox weekend in the woods, the fascists, the masculinists, the hideous trolls will be able to frolic in a space all to themselves, because we will have deserted it to preserve our sanity."
Since 2025, France is trying to restrict the age of access to social medias to those under 15, is it a good idea or a bad idea, that is the question that was asked to three people with three different point of views and three different answers that this book presents as letters. Anne Cordier is a university professor in information and communication sciences, specialized in the digital use of young people, she wrote a letter to the French president to tell him how banning social media for those under 15 constitute "an educational misstep and a dangerous political project”, Nadia Daam is a journalist and novelist, in 2017 she was a victim of a cyber bullying campaign, she wrote a letter to her daughter explaining her what happened and how social medias played a big part in her bullying and Grégoire Borst, professor of child and adolescent psychology and neuroscience wrote a letter to Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook explaining him how much his app(s) are dangerous to young people.
Like most people my age I grew up with social medias and in my opinion banning social media can be a great idea, if it’s done correctly but I think it’s more of a terrible and dangerous idea than a good one. A lot of young kids that use social medias are not only there to doomscroll for hours and make themselves dumber, they mostly use these apps to educate themselves, both socially and politically, they create their own opinions that maybe at home or at school they don’t have enough space to do that freely and most of the time, they use these apps to stay in contact with their friends who they miss or that live far away from them.
Why always give the fault on the kids while there’s literally multi billionaire men behind these apps that get richer and richer everyday on our insecurities with an algorithm who literally get into our heads.
