In the sense of okhams razor it’s also possible that you’re just more sensibilized to the term.

It would be a fun experiment to next time first check YouTube before looking it up elsewhere, just to eliminate the chance that the information vector is before the search.

From there then come various other possibilities (from behaviour based prediction to Lemmy profe linking).

Just to widen the search area!

I can’t argue about the historic relevance; The article you linked is from 2020, the issues from early 2019. The original matrix developing company seems to have deep ties as described, yes.

But:

If you follow the very first link I. The article you can read the history of the matrix protocol itself. It shows where and when the matrix protocol was separated from this company and what the status quo seems to be:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_(protocol)#History

From this it seems clear to me that the information from this article are by now obviously outdated with KDE and Mozilla two big mentioned community projects that are involved.

Wikipedia as primary source is not well suited, but the fact that the article linked to it themselves seem to show that they relied on the back then status quo.

In short: in 2017 they would be absolutely right, in 2020 there were still huge issues - but by now those are mostly addressed or are unknown.

In the very first post on this thread I pointed out that I’m not talking about this specific case at all.

To your last point I fully agree!

For the first point: that’s how I understood you - what I failed to convey: adultsshould fall victim more in cases like this because parents can be a protective shield of a kind that grown-ups lag.

Children on their own stand easy less of a chance but are very rarely on their own.

And to be honest I think it doesn’t change result of requirements for action both in general but respectfully for language based bots, both from a legal as well as an educational point of view.

I see your point but there is one major difference between adults and children: adults are by default fully responsible for themselves z children are not.

As for your question: I won’t blame the parents here in the slightest because they will likely put more than enough blame on themselves. Instead I’ll try to keep it general:

Independent of technology, what a parent can do is learn behavior and communication patterns that can be signs of mental illness.

That’s independent of the technology.

This is a big task because the border between normal puberty and behavior that warrants action is slim to non-existent.

Overall I wish for way better education for parents both in terms of age appropriate patterns as well as what kind of help is available to them depending on their country and culture.
