Talk:Common Sense Media

This page is strongly biased

The page barely mentions the censorship controversies and other negative facts about the subject, instead opting for an invariably positive view on Common Sense Media. It needs to be updated to be more neutral. Oh, no! Not him! 05:27, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

I don't know much about this group, except that they've been spamming me for much of a decade and never let me unsubscribe. I've filed complaints before, and they keep telling me that they're removing me, and the emails stop, for a while... only to suddenly come back weeks, months, or even years later when they start up some new list. The latest of their list they've put me on is their "latino" list. :Þ -- 31.209.198.1 (talk) 20:32, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

The portion about the research should definitely be removed, or cut down on. There is no point for adding every little thing that CSM has doneWyxuan (talk) 06:05, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

And there's the fact they're considered a monopoly. Really there should be a controversy section on this article https://www.oif.ala.org/oif/?p=6325 — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheDarkMaster2 (talk • contribs) 22:34, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

I agree. It seems to just highlight absolutely everything they have done except for the stuff with controversy. 67.219.83.13 (talk) 01:16, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

I also agree. Seems like whoever edited this page either works for CSM or they’re a die-hard fan of them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:600:C980:5750:25DC:5BE:3612:4007 (talk) 17:09, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

minor war over nonprofit status

I noticed a few back and forth edits changing nonprofit to for-profit. I added a link that will hopefully clarify. They're still a 501c3 but they added a for-profit subsidiary production company.

They are also charging a donation to access more than 3 articles, but there's no external link to document that change, so I'm not sure how to cite it. --Ivey (talk) 18:51, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

They recently removed the paywall, at least for apps. They did email me saying they were going to deprecate the apps, games, websites, and podcast lists in favor of advice-based stuff instead. ~2026-14365-92 (talk) 22:17, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

Edit request I couldn't find an accurately descriptive template for

Correct the Wikidata revenue portion of the infobox so that it says US$25,452,329 (2018). 25,452,329 United States dollar looks incorrect convention-wise and conjugation-wise. – MrPersonHumanGuy (talk) 18:46, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

Programs

Is it popular and common for the programs to be from age 2 years to age 18 years? 2601:1C2:4D01:2010:D8CE:9908:D544:9533 (talk) 19:29, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

CSM doesn’t recommend programs for people under two (even books, for some reason) because the AAP doesn’t recommend media for people under 2 except video chatting. As for 18, once you’re 18 you’re an adult and can do anything. ~2026-14365-92 (talk) 22:18, 5 March 2026 (UTC)
