• it won’t be much better in the US if the government has their way. age verification, blocks on porn sites, restrictions on VPNs, this is all stuff that’s been done or is currently being done. it’s a slippery slope that’s only going to get worse until the internet is an experience that is carefully curated by the current administration.

        People keep repeating these platitudes as if digital products aren’t literally harmful to kids. (And purposefully designed that way.)

        But okay.

          This screams: “I don’t want to parent my kids, so let the government do it instead, and do it to me too along the way.”

          Do you really not see how that takes away your own agency? Both in terms of raising your kids and your own privacy.

          Please keep repeating this propaganda as if it were true.

          Australian studies have shown that the social media ban is harmful for children.

            You are living proof of why SJW’s are so insufferable.

            Nothing matters more than orthodoxy, not even the fact that we’re raising a generation that can’t focus on anything cognitively for more than 60 seconds.
