The only solution is to educate our children about life with digital abundance. Throwing them into the deep end when they’re 16 or 18 is too late. It’s a wonderful and weird world.
I’ve been seeing this or some variant of it, as if current protections are sufficient and we just need better parents. Yet having this procides another layer to teach and monitor.
Also the damage social media does for a 16 year old is far less than an 11 or 13 year old.

everyone I disagree with is a bot
Pathetic!

never said I agree or disagree with you.
just pointed out you’re astroturfing.

How is disagreeing with the hysteria “astroturfing”?
If you’re going to call everyone not on board with your fear cult a bot you could at least stick to your claim instead of changing them.

Or even a 6 year old judging by the amount of literal toddlers with full blown iPads

It’s more about experience than age. If you prevent 13 year olds from gaining online experience, they’ll have the same level of inexperience when you expose them to the internet at 16.

So you agree it’s good to expose them in a limited way between 13-16 so they gain some experience without being preyed on by predators like Epstein and Kotick?
You agree the law is good then or do you think we should hook babies up to iPads to build up immunity like RFK and the antivax cultists that believe in chickenpox parties over regulations.
