Silicon Valley Tech Leaders Limit Kids' Screen Time
Posts discuss how tech executives restrict their own children's screen time and device access.
TLDR
Unusual Whales posted that Silicon Valley tech executives raise children with limited technology, restricting screen time to as little as 90 minutes a week and delaying smartphones until teenage years, citing the New York Times. Andrew Yang replied that people should note what leaders do with their own kids. Another user added that Evan Spiegel allows his 7-year-old 90 minutes of screen time weekly, Bill Gates withheld phones until age 14, and Sundar Pichai's son lacked one at age 11 while keeping the home TV hard to access.

Al Goldstein@goldstein2002@AndrewYang 100%....it's basic common sense that social media and technology for kids is corrosive...just like sugar. The hard part is holding the line but it's parent's responsibility to protect their children...not the Government or anyone else.
OB Overlap by AP@ansujeet@NoLimitGains The irony is hard to miss. The people who understand how addictive technology is engineered are often the most cautious about giving it to their own children. That alone deserves attention.
P⌛️ Phil ⌛️@phils_creations@NoLimitGains It's like they know something... look what it has done to everyone. Head down on the sidewalk, everywhere you look
IN InsomniaLK@InsomniaLK@NoLimitGains The irony is loud. They build the trap but keep their own kids away.
AA Arjuna Anand@arjunaaqa@AndrewYang this should be illegal, best proof their platforms are evil by design
