 📱🙄TV presenter Ore Oduba has opened up about his struggles with sex addiction—credit to him for speaking honestly. But in the same breath, the spotlight shifts toward internet platforms as the root of the problem. And just like that, accountability quietly slips out the back door while Big Tech takes the blame. 🚪💨

🎭 The Great Responsibility Shuffle

So let’s unpack this. Exposure to harmful content at a young age is a serious issue—no debate there. But when the narrative becomes “the internet did it,” we start skating over some uncomfortable questions.

Where were the safeguards?

Where was the guidance?

Where were the adults when a child first encountered content clearly not meant for them? 🤔

Because the internet didn’t raise anyone. It didn’t install values, boundaries, or context. It’s a tool—powerful, chaotic, and often unchecked—but still a tool.

And yes, platforms absolutely have a role to play in protecting young users. But shifting the weight entirely onto them risks turning a complex issue into a convenient excuse. Accountability isn’t a group project you can outsource when it gets uncomfortable.

It’s also worth noting: recognising a problem later in life and speaking about it publicly can help others. That part matters. But when the message becomes muddled with blame-shifting, it raises eyebrows as much as awareness.

Because if everything is the fault of “the system,” then no one ever has to own the choices made within it.
