#UK #NHS decides #gender #dysphoria is a #mental [psychological] illness and withdraws puberty blocking #drugs, after claiming that it is a physical disorder for years without clean confirmation. The drugs involved are available cheaply online. Apparently bills going through parliament might still allow them to be prescribed, despite the #reclassification.

De heroïne van sociale media wordt gratis verstrekt aan kinderen, terwijl volwassenen de andere kant op kijken

Jamal Ouariachi (Trouw)

(...) Dan heb je nog de sector Breinverpulvering. Die deed het in 2023 nóg beter. Alphabet, moederbedrijf van Google, noteerde alleen al in het vierde kwartaal van 2023 een winst van 20,7 miljard dollar, terwijl Tech-gigant Meta (onder meer Facebook, Instagram en WhatsApp) over heel 2023 een nettowinst van 39 miljard dollar binnenharkte. (...)

Delen we in de winst, wij als content­leveraars? Haha, tuurlijk niet.

“Nou, daar ben je toch zelf bij, sukkel?”

Het ergste is misschien dat die heroïne gratis wordt verstrekt aan kinderen, terwijl volwassenen de andere kant op kijken of preciezer: op hun eigen telefoon zitten te turen. TikTok, Snapchat, X, Instagram, ­Facebook, Whatsapp en Discord konden onbelemmerd uitgroeien tot platforms waar massaal kinderporno wordt verspreid, waar cyberpesten aan de orde van de dag is, waar drugshandel floreert en waar handige tips rondgaan over hoe je het best zelfmoord kunt plegen. (...)

Wonderlijke soort zijn we toch. We schenken onze ziel en onze centen aan precies de bedrijven die alles wat ons dierbaar is kapotmaken: onze omgeving, onze kinderen, ons brein.
