From Twitter/X:
Big Tech companies block law that would protect children 😡🚩
Google, Meta and TikTok are suing California to block a law that would protect teenagers from its exploitative and addicted-making features📱
Question: If you’re a parent, how do you navigate social media use with your child/children? 💭
This is your sign to ditch Big Tech and look for alternatives 🔐

The ban shouldn’t be children specific. They should ban purposely addictive but not necessary additions to products from the market entirely. Making it children specific just means requiring tracking of everyone to determine their age. It’s so unnecessary unless your real goal is tracking everyone.
Sadly children are so disrespected that governments just have to gesture toward them to do shit like this. I really do hope we come out of this whole thing with a good privacy and user respecting web design law. It really is the only way out of this mess, like you say. The DSA in Europe gave me hope because it is a general user respecting design law, but that was before Von der Leyen strongly pushed for more surveilance instead.
