    How about instead of trying every complicated stupid way to regulate users and especially children … you regulate and control companies and corporations instead.

      It’s not about the kids. It’s about knowing who is organizing protests, unions, and calling out wage theft, polluters, and whistleblowing illegal activities performed by the government and Epstein class.

      It’s about preventing access to online spaces, monetary transactions, and basically letting them erase you from society if you don’t offer them full-throated gratuity and allegiance.

      You know, just like ChInAs sOcIaL cReDiT sYsTeM.

      As usual here in the West, every accusation is a confession (or at least an idea for later)

      Or, ya know, make parents take responsibility for their own children and monitor what they are doing online. If you don’t want your kids seeing or participating in things online then don’t give them unfettered access to smart phones and computers!

        I kind fo agree and kind of don’t. I agree in that parents should take accountability for their children. That said, social media has been shown to be addictive and kids are frequently ahead of their parents technologically. One thing that could help is an education campaign that teaches parents how to effectively monitor their kid’s online activity. Parents need some help figuring out what tools to use and how to use them I think.

      Utah is trying. They claim they want to hold websites liable for Utahians who use VPNs to bypass ID checks. I don’t think that’s going to work, mostly because I have a lot of questions about how that could possible be enforced. But it’s funny to think about.
