Comment on Australia | Teenagers sue over social media ban for ‘violating their right to communicate’
ryannathans@aussie.zone 1 day agoParents who neglect their children have their children removed. There are no excuses for bad parenting, there are plenty of resources to understand what “the internet” is. Seriously?
This is not a real argument. I’ve presented alternatives and you’ve ignored them. You raise strawmen and move goal posts. There are non police state alternatives. You’re arguing in bad faith and I will not engage with you further
You’re just talking past me and not engaging with what I’m saying. All I’m saying is the reality of life for some families is that a kid shouldn’t be put at risk because their single mom (for example) is too busy or doesn’t want to die on the hill of not letting their kid talk to their friends on Discord or whatever.
Taking her kid away isn’t going to help the kid…or anyone…you’re just going to create more problems.

The other commenter isn’t making strawman arguments, they made quite clear the complex situations in which a parent may not be in a position to monitor or control their childs use.
This is a strawman. It fails to imagine neglect of varied levels. It fails to acknowledge that child removal is the last resort after sustained and/or heavy neglect.
The alternative, you presented one that i see, is a government solution imposed from on high that is liable to the same ‘police state’ attacks you make about this legislation, or, will go unenforced and thus be a giant waste of time and energy because all parents, especially those time poor or ‘not in the know’, ignore the tool.
