Our daily reliance on AI and social media exposes critical risks, as our generation -among the first to adopt these tools - lacks preparedness for their pitfalls. Current age verification on platforms is ineffective, relying on easily bypassed pop-ups or exploitable ID checks. This grants minors access to harmful content like cyberbullying, misinformation, predators, and addictive algorithms that erode attention spans. Meanwhile, AI-generated content, despite subtle flaws, now mimics human work so closely that its unchecked spread threatens education, politics, and creativity. Without universal watermarking systems, misinformation can easily spread, destabilizing trust in digital content. Combined with fake news, this risks public panic and knowledge erosion. To safeguard minors and preserve content integrity, robust age verification and AI transparency measures are urgent. Only then can platforms enforce age-appropriate safeguards and curb the manipulation cycle degrading information’s value.
Let's discuss!
Suggested demands:
Enforce a rule to add a watermark to AI generated content
Create successful age verification
Educate people about the proper use of AI and Social Media
Create a fact checking organisation that reporters can come to for verification of their articles and people can get access to a list of verified resources to prevent fake news from spreading
