We are grateful to finally see some accountability for the harms these addictive designed platforms have caused and fully support the prosecutor who won the case in New Mexico in his plan to ask the court to force the company to modify the design of the apps to make them safer for children and teens

we need to "shift from the idea that success lies in endless growth to success lies in balance. [...] Where do we find that point where it's engaging, it's useful, we feel like we belong, but without getting addicted, drawn, depressed, thrown off-course by it? frequency.leaflet.pub/3md26xqn3dk2...

When an app is free, you're not paying with money, you're paying with attention. What do you pay when you pay attention? frequency.leaflet.pub/3md26xqn3dk2...

You wouldn't use a navigation app that deliberately took you to the wrong address or a calculator that gave you the wrong answer - so why do we accept similar behavior from our social media feeds? frequency.leaflet.pub/3md26xqn3dk2...

this begs the question: if the apps we use every day to keep in touch with our friends and family were designed with the goals of connection and healthy communication in mind, would we [...] need to take a break from them in the first place? frequency.leaflet.pub/3mbezkaxwhk2...

This completely ignores the deliberatively manipulative design of the apps we open compulsively. There are literally 1000s of engineers, product managers, and behavioral researchers whose job it is to design the apps we use to be as addictive as possible! frequency.leaflet.pub/3mbezkaxwhk2...

The issue with digital detoxes is that it puts the blame on us - it suggests that the issue is just that we have insufficient willpower and we could put our phones down at any time if we really wanted to. frequency.leaflet.pub/3mbezkaxwhk2...
