Why is this a secondary response? The situation at hand is specifically focused on the children and also teens. What about their consent? Their freedom? Their identity? The problems seemed to arise only when they targeted adults, otherwise the ageism seemed just "fine". Fake quotes on how it "doesnt even help them" is yet another brick thrown back around. There is no room for ageism here, lets be real, this situation is harmful for all.
It is essentially what ignorance does. Adults are not the centre of attention here, children and also teens (which are most definitively lumped it aswell) are also people; let's not forget that.
