“think of the children” is always a poor excuse to strip away citizen freedoms. Usually never actually helps them anyways.

I would usually agree with this statement, but the truth is that social media does way more harm than good when it comes to teenagers.

Is it really the government’s job to police what every teen does on the Internet though? I think that’s for the parents to do.

When it comes to the big corporate platforms, yes.
When it comes to the Fediverse, no.

It is the parents job, but what do you do when the parents don’t do that job?

There’s a lot of things parents should be doing but some don’t. That however is a whole different argument.
