i strongly believe children should not have access to social media i also strongly believe that governments should not force users to provide identification to access the internet, they use kids as the excuse but the real reason is control ultimately parents are responsible for their children

Don't let the gov steal your parenting job! Be a good parent and responsible enough to take care of your children! Don't outsource your responsibility to a useless, inefficient behemoth!

Without them trying to control, nobody would push for real freedom.

Strongly agree! Some parents will fail, but the majority will somewhat succeed in handling what their kids see on the internet.

Yeah maybe adults are responsible enough for their actions to say no, though most don’t.

Freedom doesn’t need to be sacrificed — it needs responsibility. When governments use children as an excuse, it’s not about protection, it’s about control. Raising kids is the job of families, not a reason to build a digital wall around all of us.

If the people who created social media won’t let their kids on it, what does it say? Politicians using children to create archaic laws lets read between the lines… View quoted note →
I think it's a bit unrealistic to expect young people not use the internet. It's all about education, supervision and trust depending on their age.

There’s a very famous Spanish psychiatrist (Marian Rojas ICYI) who writes educational books and is very active on social media, and most of her work focuses on hormones, their triggers and their manifestations, especially in emotions, mood and mental and physical health. Very educational, she does an amazing work. In one of her books she mentions that when parents ask her at what age should they give their children a mobile phone, her answer is “when you think their brains can handle porn” She then says 16-17 should be a good compromise in todays society, but from a neurological development standpoint, apparently it should be at least at 25 Mind boggling. Worth to think about it, specially for those of us who are parents of small children
Reading a great book right now on the danger of social media for kids. "The Tech Exit". Really eye opening. Most parents think simply limiting screen time is the solution. It's not.
Those children the government is seeking to “protect” will eventually become adults, who will / should be horrified at the things the government presumed to do in their names.
The same governments who think gender reassignment surgery is wonderful now want age verification to protect children.
Some might claim that Red Tail Hawk is a pseudonym and not my "real name". If you want to know who I am, look into the symbolism associated with the name Red Tail Hawk in Native American traditions. Fair warning: I first did this 31 months ago and this simple quest turned into a now 31 month ongoing research bender currently being distilled into a book. Your birth name does not have anything to do with how you have lived your life. Your birth name is based upon the whims of your parents at a time when you'd done nothing with your life yet. On the other hand, the name Red Tail Hawk indicates who I am and what I've done that actually matters in my time on this planet. 🪶 View quoted note →
they use the safety of your children as a bargaining chip to increase control over you. evil people.
I don't give a shit what anything thinks the government should not be allowed to police our thoughts or speech.
Meanwhile our taxes are being sent to Israel so that the IDF can film themselves raping children... Make it make sense. If they government cared about children why are they bleeding us, taking food away from children. To fund Israeli pedophiles who film themselves raping children. Make it fucking make sense
