- 0:00Speaker 1: It is the deal. You will show your twenty twenty
- 0:02Speaker 1: six edition.
- 0:03Speaker 2: Remember, if you're going to be in Perrysburg, Ohio or Toledo,
- 0:06Speaker 2: I will be there this Friday, Saturday, Sunday, So come
- 0:09Speaker 2: check me out if you're take a notion in Jasmine Sanders. So,
- 0:11Speaker 2: of course Instagram and Metal with sue they lost people
- 0:17Speaker 2: alleged that they put their child in exposing the things
- 0:20Speaker 2: that children shouldn't be exposed to. Do you think that
- 0:22Speaker 2: that is up to the parents of social media company?
- 0:25Speaker 1: Wow, that's a tough one.
- 0:26Speaker 3: I definitely think it's up to the parents who are
- 0:28Speaker 3: responsible in this particular thing. In this particular case, the
- 0:33Speaker 3: Los Angeles case, the woman is twenty now and she's
- 0:37Speaker 3: suing because she said she started watching YouTube when she
- 0:39Speaker 3: was as young as six years old, and then Instagram
- 0:42Speaker 3: when she turned eleven, and because of that she was
- 0:45Speaker 3: depressed and just she basically said they were responsible for
- 0:49Speaker 3: a number of things about her as an adult.
- 0:51Speaker 1: Name so frivolous.
- 0:54Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I don't know, because there was also you know,
- 0:56Speaker 3: Meta was also hit with a three hundred and seventy
- 0:58Speaker 3: five million dollars in damage in a separate trial in Mexico.
- 1:02Speaker 3: In New Mexico, where you know they were also found
- 1:04Speaker 3: liable because they were New Mexico. Basically said that Meta
- 1:08Speaker 3: failed to protect young users from child predators on Instagram
- 1:12Speaker 3: and Facebook.
- 1:13Speaker 1: Yes, but I agree that's also I think parents too.
- 1:16Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure. I mean you can only do so much,
- 1:18Speaker 3: which you have to at least do something.
- 1:19Speaker 2: And I do think that there needs to be safeguards
- 1:22Speaker 2: put in place to mitigate potential exposures and stuff like this.
- 1:27Speaker 2: But I also think that's Listen, they don't stop selling
- 1:31Speaker 2: pornal because you'll you have a kid.
- 1:32Speaker 3: Exactly, And guess what you can lie about your age
- 1:35Speaker 3: because you don't don't ask how I know this, but
- 1:37Speaker 3: you have to enter your age before they let you
- 1:39Speaker 3: into the site. But you know, how are they going
- 1:41Speaker 3: to know how old you are? You could just lie
- 1:42Speaker 3: in the way that people from as long a ba
- 1:45Speaker 3: as I can remember, you said when you have to
- 1:47Speaker 3: have an ID to get into a certain place, you just
- 1:49Speaker 3: get a fake ID.
- 1:50Speaker 1: And I was like, yes, you're going in. You know
- 1:52Speaker 1: you can get pregnant that way. I mean you can
- 1:53Speaker 1: also get pregnant at home. Way crazy, you guys.
- 1:57Speaker 3: We'll go through a blow for that.
- 1:59Speaker 1: H don't I know it.
- 2:04Speaker 2: Just saying, oh, well more do I tails.
- 2:11Speaker 1: If I had mattersy?
- 2:15Speaker 2: My goodness, Hey, gentlemen, we're trying to rate a show
- 2:18Speaker 2: while you and well you and Junius. I don't know
- 2:20Speaker 2: what you guys are up to over there, but this
- 2:23Speaker 2: is a uh, this is respectable joint we're running here.
- 2:27Speaker 2: It's called discourse. Well now it isn't. But uh, all right,
- 2:35Speaker 2: So do you think who you think bears more responsibility
- 2:38Speaker 2: social media company?
- 2:39Speaker 1: Are the parents? Skip?
- 2:40Speaker 4: What do you think who bears the most responsibility to me?
- 2:43Speaker 4: Are the parents?
- 2:44Speaker 5: Now?
- 2:44Speaker 4: I'm not saying that it eliminates any responsibility to the
- 2:48Speaker 4: social media companies for the messages they hide in there
- 2:50Speaker 4: and try to do things. But ultimately, you bought your
- 2:53Speaker 4: kid a phone, you pay their bill. You didn't set
- 2:56Speaker 4: parental guidelines on the phones or whatever, all that stuff
- 3:00Speaker 4: that you know you got to do. We grew up.
- 3:03Speaker 1: There was certain TV shows we weren't allowed to watch. Right.
- 3:05Speaker 4: There's certain music you would well your parents wouldn't let
- 3:08Speaker 4: you listen to. You had to sneak and listen to
- 3:09Speaker 4: it and get out.
- 3:10Speaker 3: But what happens if you don't buy your kid a
- 3:13Speaker 3: phone and they go to school and they watch something,
- 3:15Speaker 3: they look at somebody else's phone or there the other
- 3:18Speaker 3: students are treating them accordingly to what they see on
- 3:21Speaker 3: social media.
- 3:22Speaker 1: How do you six to zero old? Having a phone
- 3:24Speaker 1: is negative?
- 3:26Speaker 3: But I'm saying, what if the child doesn't have a phone,
- 3:28Speaker 3: but the child's friend or something friend of a friend
- 3:31Speaker 3: has a phone?
- 3:31Speaker 1: Right, how do you stop that?
- 3:33Speaker 2: I mean that what if that was the case, that's fine,
- 3:35Speaker 2: But if you ran off to the bathroom to check his.
- 3:37Speaker 3: You likes Yeah, well, in this particular case, for sure,
- 3:40Speaker 3: But I just meant.
- 3:43Speaker 1: That's always a case.
- 3:44Speaker 4: I mean, most of us the first time, like they
- 3:47Speaker 4: got videos and stuff now, but when we was growing up,
- 3:49Speaker 4: you had like, you know, adult magazines. Usually the first
- 3:52Speaker 4: one you saw was at somebody else's house. It wasn't correct.
- 3:56Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying for this guy, But how do
- 3:59Speaker 3: you know someone else accountable for that?
- 4:01Speaker 1: Though? That's my question. That's what I'm saying.
- 4:03Speaker 4: Part of it is the game.
- 4:05Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, stop, it is what he's saying. Yeah, well,
- 4:09Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. You remember folk social.
- 4:12Speaker 2: Media and when you at school and there was a
- 4:14Speaker 2: dirty book going around, you know, everybody was sharing that.
- 4:16Speaker 1: Dirty book, you know, that's what we called them. You know,
- 4:19Speaker 1: hey man, you know you would be reading it just
- 4:22Speaker 1: like everybody else. Well, why wouldn't we get to the twenties?
- 4:26Speaker 1: All the pages are stuck together? What is that about?
- 4:28Speaker 1: And where am I socked? Where is chapter twelve?
- 4:33Speaker 2: That's what I can't I can't even talk like that
- 4:35Speaker 2: because I did an interview with my family with Blacktail magazine.
- 4:41Speaker 6: There.
- 4:42Speaker 1: All right, So who do you.
- 4:44Speaker 2: Think uh uh is responsible for monitoring your children's habits?
- 4:49Speaker 1: Viewing habits on social media?
- 4:51Speaker 2: Should be the parents, should be social media companies, we're
- 4:53Speaker 2: going to the phones.
- 4:55Speaker 7: I believe that it's always the parents responsible for whatever
- 5:00Speaker 7: a child's parents are letting their kids sit on social media,
- 5:04Speaker 7: sit on the TVs, stit everywhere, and just do whatever
- 5:07Speaker 7: they want without looking and paying attention.
- 5:09Speaker 8: I think I might send it thirty five. I paid
- 5:12Speaker 8: attention to whatever he did, whatever he was watching, regardless
- 5:16Speaker 8: of what I was doing. And parents now just let
- 5:18Speaker 8: their kids go and have no clue as to what
- 5:20Speaker 8: they're doing. So I don't really say I think it's
- 5:22Speaker 8: horrible with the Facebook and social media is doing. Yes, However,
- 5:27Speaker 8: first and foremost parents need to find out what their
- 5:30Speaker 8: kids are looking at, what their kids are doing.
- 5:32Speaker 7: Yeah, definitely the parents.
- 5:35Speaker 6: I can't believe.
- 5:36Speaker 5: This is ridiculous.
- 5:36Speaker 9: There is another point of where we are in America
- 5:40Speaker 9: and parents are shocking their responsibilities.
- 5:43Speaker 8: I can't believe it.
- 5:44Speaker 9: I feel like children don't have jobs to purchase any
- 5:48Speaker 9: of these social media platforms or apps or any of that,
- 5:53Speaker 9: or any of these types of things, and there's parental guidance.
- 5:56Speaker 9: That's why they have folks up that are responsible for
- 6:00Speaker 9: them as for because they're miners and they're not able
- 6:03Speaker 9: to make sound in wise decisions in every case, in
- 6:08Speaker 9: a lot of cases. Actually, So that's what I wanted
- 6:10Speaker 9: to kind of address because it's it's kind of like
- 6:13Speaker 9: we're putting the onus on everybody else to raise our
- 6:16Speaker 9: kids and not have any accountability for how our children
- 6:21Speaker 9: turn out, and then trying to make the world responsible
- 6:23Speaker 9: for how our kids are being raised when it's ultimately
- 6:26Speaker 9: the parental guardian and a parent that's responsible ultimately for
- 6:32Speaker 9: what your children hear, see and watch.
- 6:35Speaker 6: It's the parents responsibilities to mom said what their children
- 6:38Speaker 6: have access to. With that society now where kids are
- 6:42Speaker 6: pretty much raising theirselfs. Parents are not in the picture.
- 6:46Speaker 6: The main problem is parents is father's not being in
- 6:49Speaker 6: the whole. That's the biggest problem in the Black Melody
- 6:52Speaker 6: or all over this country. Father's not being in home.
- 6:55Speaker 6: All this single mother, single motherhood hood stuff that's going on.
- 6:59Speaker 6: Women do not do, not know how to raise me. Okay,
- 7:02Speaker 6: but my father's not being in the hall to provide
- 7:04Speaker 6: any kind of discipline. Mothers just letting letting the kids
- 7:07Speaker 6: do what they want to do. It's really the parents's
- 7:10Speaker 6: possibility to keep track of what their kids are having
- 7:13Speaker 6: access to on the internet.
- 7:15Speaker 2: So do you think parents are social media companies should
- 7:18Speaker 2: be responsible for children's view and habits?
- 7:20Speaker 1: Who up to the polls.
- 7:21Speaker 8: At the end of the day, it's the parents.
- 7:23Speaker 7: The social media is going to always be out there,
- 7:26Speaker 7: so it's up to the parents to teach their children.
- 7:29Speaker 8: It starts from the home. It is the parents' responsibility.
- 7:33Speaker 6: I grew up in the old schools category where you
- 7:36Speaker 6: know your your.
- 7:37Speaker 1: Parents were responsible for everything.
- 7:39Speaker 6: There was no social media. So even now with social media,
- 7:42Speaker 6: parents are still responsible for the children's you know, behavior
- 7:45Speaker 6: and all that.
- 7:46Speaker 5: We didn't learn about red Fox from our whome. It
- 7:51Speaker 5: was in somebody else's basement. So the people that are
- 7:56Speaker 5: putting out these programs for the kids there is responsible,
- 8:00Speaker 5: just like bar owners are responsible in an underage person
- 8:06Speaker 5: drinks that they're played, they should pay.
- 8:09Speaker 10: Bottom line, the parents are responsible for what your children
- 8:13Speaker 10: think about and what they latch onto and what they
- 8:15Speaker 10: absorb in their mind. So yeah, I mean social media
- 8:18Speaker 10: has to take somewhat responsibility for exposing children to things.
- 8:23Speaker 10: But why is it that social media has more influence
- 8:27Speaker 10: over your children than you do?
- 8:29Speaker 11: So you got to ask yourself that question. I mean,
- 8:32Speaker 11: your children should care more about what you think than
- 8:35Speaker 11: what social media tells them what they are to think
- 8:38Speaker 11: and how they need to act and what they need
- 8:40Speaker 11: to do. So if you're losing your influence to you know,
- 8:45Speaker 11: Mega whoever else, then the parent, you have to ask
- 8:49Speaker 11: yourself what do you need to do to capture their attention.
- 8:53Speaker 12: It's because it's a lot of young kids out here
- 8:55Speaker 12: that be all kicktok, Instagram, YouTube and all that, and
- 9:00Speaker 12: the parents. A lot of times the parents be at
- 9:03Speaker 12: work and the parents don't even know nothing about it.
- 9:05Speaker 12: But when something happened to their child, like uh, committed
- 9:10Speaker 12: suicide or something like that, then y'all want to shift
- 9:14Speaker 12: their holland about where it's not. It's not the company faught.
- 9:18Speaker 12: Y'all shall put more prophecy sellers off on these apps
- 9:22Speaker 12: so these kids won't get up out it.
- 9:31Speaker 2: That boy trade is here to let us know what
- 9:33Speaker 2: life is like in the HBCU my life on the yard.
- 9:50Speaker 2: I love.
- 9:54Speaker 13: What's good y'all. This is that boy trade back, getting
- 9:56Speaker 13: one of my life on the yard. And then so
- 9:59Speaker 13: I look at h man. I'm just getting back from break,
- 10:03Speaker 13: and it was amazing. I had a phenomenal time going
- 10:08Speaker 13: to the beach, seeing all the sights, indulging in some
- 10:12Speaker 13: amazing vegetation.
- 10:14Speaker 1: You feel me.
- 10:15Speaker 13: If you don't, I don't know what to tell you,
- 10:18Speaker 13: but yeah, it was an amazing time.
- 10:20Speaker 1: But now we're back in the.

- 10:36Speaker 1: You know what I'm used to it now.
- 10:39Speaker 13: I hate to say, even during the break.
- 10:41Speaker 1: I was still in the mode of doing school works.
- 10:43Speaker 13: So this isn't even a crazy Just now that the
- 10:46Speaker 13: break's all over and I'm getting back into school stuff.
- 10:48Speaker 13: I finally decided to check my midterm grades. You know,
- 10:53Speaker 13: I wasn't trying to check it over the break for
- 10:56Speaker 13: real because I didn't want it to mess around and
- 10:58Speaker 13: ruin the vibes I had going. But yeah, I checked them,
- 11:03Speaker 13: and I actually outperformed. I outdid my expectations. I was like, okay,
