When couples disagree on how to address internet addiction and misinformation with their children

My partner and I have been reading about how the early internet was supposed to democratize information and bring people together, but we're watching our teenage kids get radicalized in opposite directions by algorithms and we can't figure out how to talk to them about it without sounding like hypocrites since we're both addicted to our feeds too.

What we've seen

The gap between the internet's original promise and its current reality creates paralysis when trying to guide the next generation.

Worth thinking about

“Where Are You with The internet — origin story and examined present?”
