Online bullying and social media pressure are real issues that cannot be ignored. At home, we tackle it by appropriate parental controls, education, and transparency. However , we are privileged to have the time, money, and awareness, for this to happen.

I genuinely feel we need some generic change, somewhere, (I don’t have answers) to incentivize companies to do the right thing to discourage continuous engagement and also build the right set of judgement skills needed by teens to navigate online social space.

It probably starts at home and perhaps an online social media class in school.

Or are they just cashing in on that market's Moral Panic du jour?

If the latter - savvy on-line freedom fighters might want to do battle a bit further back in the causal chain.
