00:00Should social sites stop showing who likes a post because it's getting a lot of people
00:07in trouble.
00:08Celebrities, regular people.
00:09Well, but if you don't like a post, you get even more trouble.
00:14People know when you muted them.
00:17Because right now, Hailey Bieber wants to take legal action because someone said she
00:20liked a picture of something that was saying something bad about her.
00:23White women are wild.
00:24Look, as a woman in STEM, I'm not sure I have an elegant answer to this, but I think
00:32it's more about protecting kids and probably more about like, imagine being a teenage girl
00:36and seeing that someone liked a post that wasn't your post.
00:40You know, I think that when it comes to what's going on with social media, I don't know what
00:44Hailey Bieber's issue is, but it seems like that's probably the least, you know, problematic
00:48of it.
00:49It is getting kids addicted to this like validation.
00:51To what someone else might say validation.
00:53Imagine being in high school now and add it to the, you know, trauma of what it was like
00:56to be in high school.
00:57Also seeing that someone hung out without you and they liked a post.
01:01I think it's more of that for me.
01:03I think people should know when you don't like them.
01:06I think this is a good thing.
01:08I think it's good.
01:09That post sucked.
01:10Why are you calling your wife?
01:11You're a rock.
01:12Why do you need a rock?
01:13It's her job to support you.
01:14Like, I think we need to go like, no, I'm not like, I'm not encouraging this.
01:15I think we need more negative reinforcement.
01:24I think people need less likes and I think they need to see when their post is obnoxious.
01:28Yeah, I didn't like it.
01:30So legal action is too far.
01:32She's suing them.
01:33Why?
01:34She's suing them because they're further creating a narrative of her not of liking something
01:39about Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez.
01:42Like now it went from a post like that was negative, like allegedly to a TikTok now that's
01:47highlighting it with millions of views.
01:48I think we just need to go back to not getting lawyers involved and just saying if you don't
01:54like people, just say it.
01:55Just go back to that.
01:56Just say, I don't like you.
01:57I don't mess with you.
01:58Just say it.
01:59You don't have to get lawyers to do it.
