    Yeah, seems there is a belief that past a certain age, you should have zero fun, be nothing but a wage slave, and die somewhere quietly, where no one will see what fate awaits you.

    Well, I happen to think minors especially should not have access to social media, or at least somehow have minor only social media.

    Prevents them interacting with predators, getting brainrotted, and most importantly: leaves us with more mature people to interact with.

      I initially like the idea of a minor-siloed internet, but damn if the predators aren’t going to congregate there too (eg roblox) so I’m not out sure what the answer is

        Same here, but I believe that those savvy enough should be getting into the conversation, instead of sneering at the ignorant lawmakers.

        It’s a tough problem that should be handled by interdisciplinary panels, and then coded into law in a non partisan way, instead of knee jerk legislation with the only intent of getting votes.

        What we have right now is “War on drugs” shit.

          What we have right now are fascist surveillance states leveraging both outrage against predatory tech companies and the protective instinct we feel for our children to lock down our communications network by pinning all users to a real world identity. Wheeee!
