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 🔐

    Good for the bigtech fighting these laws. Parents should be protecting their children.

    If governments want to get involved:

    1. Educate parents about the dangers online and what to do about it.
    2. It could regulate the addictive features of social media. The result would be a safer internet for everyone without anyone having to KYC themselves.
    3. If #2 isn’t an option, force all computer manufactures to add in parental controls that automatically turn off when the user gets to the age of maturity.

    I have doubts if any privacy companies are going to advocate for age verification. The very idea is anti-privacy.
