Parents can’t compete with the resources of these unimaginably monied corporations with teams of people trying to get everybody on their site as much as possible.
Banning things like this sets a dangerous precedent for state control and is easily worked around anyway. The sites should be regulated in other ways, like what content they are exposing to kids and giving guardians more controls over their childrens accounts.
But the real issue is deep rooted societal issues, with a lack of education, care and support for a lot of our youth.
As opposed to corporate control.
That’s an individual solution to a systemic issue.
So all we have to do is fix society? Then yeah, let’s just do that. We can probably finish that off by the end of the year, yeah? Education should only take a week or two at most. Then next year we can finally focus on climate change.
Youre right its too difficult, will take too long, so not lets start at all! Let’s just give up and start requiring ID for everything instead, that will do it!
Just because I don’t think regulating large corporations is a “dangerous precedent” doesn’t mean I think IDs are a decent solution. Your nebulous “deep rooted societal issues” cannot be defined let alone solved. I was mostly making light of that simple solution, not saying complex problems aren’t worth tackling. Anyway, I’m done talking to somebody that puts words in my mouth and tries to make issues into a binary choice devoid of all complexity.
Cute.
