I Break The News

This concludes our Big Tech Invasion awareness campaign for now, but not before we share what corporate,  marketing and UX language really means. This text was written by chatgpt entirely - after using a simple question as the prompt. If a CEO Won't Let Their Own Children Use Their Own Product,  We Should Be Paying Attention Imagine building a product used by hundreds of millions of people. Imagine standing before investors and celebrating record growth, increased user retention, and unprecedented engagement. Now imagine refusing to let your own children use it. At that point, we are no longer discussing a parenting choice. We are discussing a moral choice. A warning label doesn't always come in writing. Sometimes it looks like a CEO who built a billion-dollar platform and then refuses to let his own children use it.

First I will have to put the time in, so it can evolve and progress.  But if you are interested, I will let you know when it is ready. This project is actually aimed at families and children but everyone is invited to visit this magical world.
