    Is it really the government’s job to police what every teen does on the Internet though? I think that’s for the parents to do.

      It is the parents job, but what do you do when the parents don’t do that job?

        There’s a lot of things parents should be doing but some don’t. That however is a whole different argument.

          That’s my point. A parent should keep a child out of a fire, right? If they don’t, do we as a society let the child burn because it was unlucky enough to have crappy parents?

            I’d be perfectly happy with this answer if the only states proposing this “for the children!” nonsense weren’t deep red racist bigot states that want ro police women across state borders.

            If red states are doing something I want to do the opposite.

      When it comes to the big corporate platforms, yes.

      When it comes to the Fediverse, no.
