DepEd probes killer’s link to online gore, exposing digital platforms as conduits for real-world harm.
FO Take · Score 92
The digital rabbit hole of true crime normalises violence, eroding empathy in young minds. When virtual gore becomes routine, real-world horror loses its shock. Schools are waking up to a chilling reality: screens are not just distracting, they're actively corrupting. We are failing to equip children for this insidious digital landscape. How many more tragedies until we disconnect the violence amplifier?
The strongest counter
Blaming online communities for individual acts of violence is a scapegoat. The focus should remain on mental health support and direct intervention, not censorship of interests.
