MODERATORS
What's wild is that I have to assume most of us don't. My friends have said outright their kids won't get smart phones until a certain age and are consciously deciding media access levels for different ages.
We all grew up with open internet and most of us know that it was a bad thing. We don't need laws to govern access.
It's just an excuse to build more surveillance and censorship systems. Mostly, because we all learned various empowering things from the internet growing up that was outside of their state funded systems.
This is not an endorsement of homeschooling. Merely a statement that, even with the bad of the internet, we also learn many things that annoyed politicians and elites alike.
The 2010s were full of protests and organizing made possible by open access to information. That's the real problem.
