Tolerance and Acceptance
In platforms like Neighbourly, there will ALWAYS be comments / views that differ from our own.
And so it should be.
We live in diverse communities and should be able to respect / tolerate differing opinion.
There are a few things that get up my nose at times - but hey! Who am I to judge? Add a comment, ask for clarification, or ignore is my motto.
I do find that at times the generational gap can lead to misconceptions.
Just ask for clarification! Put oneself in other's shoes.
Thanks heaps to our Neighbourly Team. In saying that ... am beginning to think we need a '3 strikes' approach really.
It just may be an idea that any 'censored message' is followed up with a reason so one is able to to adjust.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
