Kids shouldn't even be on the Internet. If they get access and ruin themselves from stumbling apon some fucked up shit. That's on them and their parents 🤷
Downvotes are just proving some of you guys are fucking weird wanting kids online. Probs those weirdos over at beehaw.
Agree. But when you start limiting access to info, you control people.
They shouldn't, but we aren't putting this genie back in the bottle. There are kids who already grew up since the 2010s having phones with internet access, who already are adults, and that's not going to change.
Rather than pointing fingers at the parents and the parents pointing fingers at the world we could take a moment to acknowledge that the horror scenario already came to pass and it turned out mostly fine.
Frankly these days old people with phones believing every nonsense they read worry me even more.
US society has demonstrated a) it's generally too incompetent to be telling kids what to do and what not to do, and b) does not have kids' best interests at heart anyway, seeking to forge kids into soulless cheap interchangeable laborers and soldiers to be used and worn out in the vanity projects of billionaires. For every kid in the US, their whole job is learning that everyone, including their parents, are in on the ruse, and to find a way to escape this destiny.
For that the internet will be most useful, and any barriers we have to information it will be up to them to break.
Oh, and our society fucked up the climate and ecology enough that there's going to be a food crisis in their adulthood. And we're trying to pretend that won't happen.
