Being addicted to scrolling through your phone sucks, but being addicted
to getting likes not only damages your mental health, but also identity
theft, stalking, getting doxxed, etc.

If you are scared about exposing yourself on social media, be proud of
that - before iPhone existed, it was a scary thought to broadcast every
detail of your lives. Unfortunately, most of people that are still
afraid are old-timers at Internet, while users with less experience
barely experience any fear and are, in fact, addicted.

Keep smartphones out of reach of the children and do not let play with
them. You never know what can happen. People have done just fine without
smartphones and social media for tens of thousands of years. You can do it!

Common advice back in the day was to never meet people you have only
seen online. However, if you wanted to meet people, basic OPSEC was to
tell parents if you are under 18 or, if you are an adult, do so very
carefully in safe public place, with trusted friend with you.

If this article was written back in 90s or even early 2010s, everyone
would criticize the creator for lack of safety tips & tricks. But no,
it's 2021 and fuck even the most basic OPSEC.

random people online without preparation.
