      Its likely a precursor to VPNs and identity checks but I do support social media getting out of kids lives - it should just result in large fines for the company ad parent.

      …While allowing the real abusers of power to continue on. The bans are targeting the wrong people - children but also teenagers shouldnt have their rights barred because the bad guys exist. Its the bad guys who should face the consequences.
