  Modern day parenting for you. Why parent your own kids when you can get the government to ban things for everyone because you don’t want to upset your own kids.

  when i was a kid, it was normal for parents to say “get out of my sight” and we would just go outside and meet up with our friends. we knew it was time to go home when the street lights turned on. but then there were the kids whose parents wouldn’t let them go out to play with their friends. so they had no friends.

  yea, you can force your kids into a bubble where they can’t even talk to their peers, sure. that’s a great way to have kids who never call you when they grow up

  They can, they just remember what they did when their parents banned something when they were a kid.

    Not cross the street alone? Not taking with strangers? Not play with fire?

      I crafted wifi and tv antennae out of scraps of metal when my parents confiscated mine, but I don’t think that applies here. (And yes, this was a brief golden era when terrestrial analog tv signals and wifi coexisted)
