Social media and its effects on teenagers have been on the radar for quite some time now. Older generations have been constantly looking for new ways to blame the Internet culture whenever they see a new atrocity committed by young people. Recently, video games were subjected to scrutiny for allegedly causing violence in society. While many laughed at this belief system, the discussions on how the uses of social media affect us all continues.

Recently, writer Joanna Schroeder started yet another topic questioning the effects of social media. She took to Twitter to share something alarming she noticed coming from her sons’ Internet activity. The concerned mother says that alt-right, racism, and white supremacy groups are actively grooming young boys to join them using vlogs and memes. Is it just another baby boomer incapable of understanding the internet culture or does she have a point? Read her explanation below.
