Tbh if children was the concern of this law, then you would allow parents to sue tiktok and other platforms that have made their children addicted to the platform.
Already happening
You should also be able to sue influencers for promoting stuff to children (they know the age of their userbase).
Absolutely yes.
We can say that all day, but the reality is that they don’t know what impact it has on their kids mental health and how damaging short term dopamine addiction is for their children.
We absolutely do know. Which is why we stopped giving cocaine and heroin to kids.
But lets say it’s the average tech illiterate parent, who thinks computers are a gaming machine for kids.
Yeah… Are you seriously advocating that parental responsibility shouldn’t be a thing? If someone is that stupid, they shouldn’t have a kid. And yes. That’s epic levels of stupid.
I don’t think it’s uncharitable at all. That sounds entirely like it’s saying parents shouldn’t be held responsible for knowing about the things they buy their children.
If anyone buys their kid a phone/tablet/computer and gives them unfettered access to the Internet because they think it’s “just a gaming machine” is irresponsible.
I’m not saying a parent should, or could deny their kid access, but you need to AT THE BARE MINIMUM understand what you are putting in that kid’s hands.
How many adults can say they understand what devices they put in their own hands? Practically none.
I’m merely pointing out the huge difficulty here, these things are engineered to manipulate us. It’s not as simple as “well, parents should simply know what to do”.
Your read was uncharitable cuz the comment you replied to directly said they “in no way support this”, and was written from the very first premise as being ABOUT parents who DO NOT or CAN NOT understand the danger you go on to strawman and bitch about.
Again - your reading was uncharitable, it did not try to take the commenters actual point of view, it simply ranted about what you felt like talking about, that they never said.

Very clearly not advocating that, what an uncharitable read.
