00:00Obviously, you know, a lot of precautions, as long as you're not going in line with loads of people you don't know.

00:04But I think more the issue is people not having enough control.

00:07I think just people going on for like, especially a lot of kids just going on for like insane hours of the day

00:12and it ends up just kind of taking over their life.

00:14I feel like a lot of children are very like fixated on technology and there's like a huge dopamine sort of lack

00:20where they just need to kind of fill it up with stuff like video games.

00:24Social media has got a lot to answer for.

00:27Yeah, because you can have 18 rated games and, you know, it is legal to let your children play them.

00:34But, you know, things are saying in voice chat, things they're seeing, hearing, it can get very bad.

00:40I'd say until about 13, you should be very mindful about it.

00:45And then as they become a teenager, they'll find themselves, they'll find whatever community they belong to bad or good.

00:53I think people should push more to be more like, influence their children and do other things, you know what?
