Comment on EFF: Stop the Protecting Kids on Social Media Act

That’s a job for the parents though isn’t it? And for early teenagers people seem to forget what positive influence the internet could have on their lives. Eg. many IT workers started fiddling around with stuff when they were quite young.

I’m just glad there was no internet as it is today when I was 13. The internet of the 90s? Good. The internet of the 2020s with algorithms fighting for your attention? Yuck.

I’m employed in tech and a weirdo furry because of the internet. Jury’s still out on how that adds up.

Theyre not learning IT on tik tok. If they want to bypass the government’s countermeasures they still learn IT.
