庫克：我不要我的侄子使用社交媒體

在眾多科技行業創業者和高管們表達了對社交媒體潛在危害的擔憂之後，蘋果CEO庫克在這周五也表達了對他們的支持。

我自己沒有孩子，但是我有一個侄子，我對他有一些要求。有些事情我是不允許他去做的，其中一項就是，我不想讓他使用社交媒體。

而且，庫克並沒有將抨擊只停留在社交媒體。他還表示，他不相信所謂最好的科技是那些人們最容易產生依賴的科技。我不相信過度使用科技對我們有好處。我也不會說，當你們無時無刻不使用我們的產品時，我們就取得了成功。

其他一些持有同樣觀點的科技行業大咖包括Sean Parker，Facebook的第一任總裁。去年他承認，他幫助扎克伯格創造了一個」怪物「，天知道這個東西對我們下一代人的頭腦會有什麼影響。

另外一位Chamath Palihapitiya，曾是Facebook的高管，他在斯坦福商學院時表示：社交網路正在通過」短期的、多巴胺驅動的反饋機制，摧毀社會的運作方式。「

Facebook其實公開表示過希望緩解這種情況，扎克伯格也說他想要解決上述這些重要的問題。

整個世界都感到焦慮和分裂，所以Facebook有很多事情需要做——無論是保護我們的用戶免受欺凌和仇恨、防禦來自他國的政治干預、確保人們花在Facebook上的時間是值得的。我們不能阻止一切錯誤和濫用，但是我們在履行自身政策和防止工具濫用方面做得還不夠好。

不過，到現在為之，扎克伯格還沒有拿出明確的時間線或者解決這些問題的計劃；還有，我們也不清楚在提及的這些問題中，他將先解決哪一些。

Apple CEO Tim Cook is the latest in a series of tech entrepreneurs and c-level executives to warn of the potential risks of social media.

Speaking in the UK on Friday, Cook said:

I don』t have a kid, but I have a nephew that I put some boundaries on. There are some things that I won』t allow; I don』t want them on a social network.

He didn』t stop at social media. Cook also said he didn』t believe in the idea that the best technologies are those we become obsessed with. 「I don』t believe in overuse [of technology]. I』m not a person that says we』ve achieved success if you』re using it all the time,」 he said. 「I don』t subscribe to that at all.」

Cook joins a multitude of tech personalities in recent years worrying about the negative impact of technology, and social media in particular, on our lives. Sean Parker, Facebook』s first president, admitted last year that he』d helped Mark Zuckerberg build 「a monster,」 stating: 「God only knows what it』s doing to our children』s brains.」

Another former Facebook exec, Chamath Palihapitiya, told a group at Stanford Graduate School of Business that the social network could be 「destroying how society works」 through 「short-term, dopamine-driven, feedback loops.」

The two are far from alone in their concern about the effect of social media on our daily lives.

Facebook, for its part, has publicly stated it wants to help. After ending 2017 with an attempt to lure ever-younger children into its ecosystem, CEO Mark Zuckerberg now says he wants to 「fix these important issues.」

The world feels anxious and divided, and Facebook has a lot of work to do — whether it』s protecting our community from abuse and hate, defending against interference by nation states, or making sure that time spent on Facebook is time well spent. … We won』t prevent all mistakes or abuse, but we currently make too many errors enforcing our policies and preventing misuse of our tools.

It』s a good first step. For now, though, it』s just talk. Zuckerberg has yet to release a timeline or a roadmap stating how he』s going to address any of these issues. Or, more plainly, which of the social network』s numerous problems he plans to tackle first.
