Cartel videos, porn, and groomers: Is social media ruining our kids?

Social media can be a great tool, but it can also be a great destroyer — especially considering it’s become quite the breeding ground for groomers in search of their next prey.

“I don’t know if I would want to say kids can’t be on social media in general, only because right now I think it’s a good tool because you see all these young men are getting, frankly, radicalized by us and the content that we put on social media,” host of “Heck Off, Commie!” John Doyle tells BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales and BlazeTV contributor Matthew Marsden on “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered.”

Doyle notes that it’s a “good way of disrupting” the “liberal narrative predominance.”

However, while there are positives to the exponential growth of social media, the negatives are growing just as rapidly — and can have horrible real-world consequences.

“My old scoutmaster, I won’t say his name, but he was a real man’s man. Great guy. Everybody loved him,” Doyle says. “Now, if you drive by his house, he has on display a Pride flag because his son ended up becoming gay and then eventually discovering that he was actually a girl.”

“And this poor guy,” he continues, “just getting totally blindsided by all these cultural trends which are completely alien to you. You don’t understand it.”

“Because you’ve grown up, and your brain has solidified in a completely different country, and it never would have occurred to you to monitor your son’s internet access,” he adds, noting that while your son may come across “cartel videos” or “porn,” what’s even more concerning are the older people who may be attempting to gain access to your children in order to groom them.

“A normal person would not expect that kind of evil to exist in the world,” he says, adding, “By the time everyone understands this threat, 10-15 years from now, like you said, the generation’s already ruined, and now you don’t have sons and daughters anymore.”
