MODERATORS
insane. the premise of this thing is parents arent being responsible enough with their children so the government is taking action.(which is also bs because we all know its really just about surveillance)
but then the adults who have raised critically thinking kids cant even give the kid consent.
then this article is about 5 things you as a parent can do to help ease the transition off social media. but if the parents were the type of people to follow these instructions, we wouldnt 'need' the ban in the first place.
its like some kind of meta comedy.
there is a verge article thats also saying the kids are too woke and are spreading pro Palestine messaging on tiktok and thats partly why it was banned.
so maybe on some level, this is really about protecting the parents from the woke ideology of children.
that being said, we need more 3rd spaces that are free to access and to hang in. where are these kids gonna go to replace their time on the cheap?
looking forward to the dramatic upswing in graffiti and property damage and petty theft.
I'm hoping kids will discover the Fediverse and the dark net. Banning that will become quite the headache for the government. Whether they'll be able to even technically ban something like I2P or TOR, I don't know.
