This would seem to suit the populist mythology of "out of control technology controlled by shadowy elites." This has the secondary purpose of reinforcing other populist fables of untrustworthy and impotent authorities and adds a boost to the hostile rhetoric of anti-science. #moralpanic

Why are anti-trans moral panics taking off? This Thurs at 12pm (USA / EST) & 5pm (GMT), I'll be giving a talk about anti-trans/anti-gender moral panic agenda-setting in the US, UK, and Australia for @queerseminar.bsky.social. I hope you can join us! #LGBTQ #moralpanic #publicpolicy #trans

addendum
Hanguel is technically easier to learn to read and write in that there's way less stuff to memorize as compared to Japanese or Chinese. So, I just don't know why anyone wouldn't learn Hangeul first...it really seems like a non-issue to me, is all I'm trying to say.

Call me crazy, but I don't think public risk perceptions are very rational when it comes to "just think of the children" fears.
Teens should not vape or drink. Some do. The one they do least, that is (by far) the least harmful, is the one that evokes the most #MoralPanic.

US teen use of ANY nicotine product has dropped so low you need a magnifying glass to see it. And yet, the entire field of tobacco control continues to try to whip up irrational #MoralPanic about teen nicotine use... As if they fear for their job security. 😧

headline "Police to target gallon booze jugs at St. Patrick’s Parade. What to know about BORGs." Officers will especially be on the look out for BORGs, an acronym for “Blackout Rage Gallons," during Sunday's parade.
This is so goddamn stupid that it's hilarious.
Hey, boomers-at-heart in Boston police and city hall – the parade has never been orderly and sober, *especially* back when you were young 35 years ago.
You're just looking for something to have a moral panic […]

In 1970 actor Robert Vaughn completed a PhD. His thesis on the effect of McCarthyism on live theatre was adapted as a monograph in 1972. I decided to make it my bedtime reading and found much of it still relevant to 21c American politics.

If you don't want *your* porn to land you in jail, no matter how tame you think it is, then you need to stand together with even the stuff you find icky.
You're allies in the war on porn now, whether you like that or not #savespeech #furry #moralpanic

Fear of teen nicotine "addiction" is legitimate. It's a loss of autonomy, so a harm. But not as bad as DEATH (e.g. from teen binge drinking).
Few understand that their #MoralPanic is now being exploited to protect Big Tobacco cigarette sales and please US billionaire Mike Bloomberg.

To know daily nicotine use, we need to multiply one fraction by another fraction:
5.9% x 26.3% = 1.6%
Most journalists and policymakers get confused about this. They tell the public, incorrectly, "1 in 4 teens are vaping daily." Stoking #MoralPanic even further.

This is what I have been advocating for. But sadly, the #moralpanic train is now a runaway train.

Prohibition wasn’t about alcohol.
It was about power, space, and who got to gather.
New installment in the series on the architecture of American drug policy. #openaccess #DrugPolicy #Prohibition #PublicHealth #CriminalJustice #MoralPanic

US teen tobacco or nicotine use is at a 50-year low. Daily use is near nil. We should all be dancing in the streets. Not stoking irrational #MoralPanic.
