Comment on Google asks Congress to not ban teens from social media

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?
Starkstruck@lemmy.world 11 months ago
There’s a lot of things parents should be doing but some don’t. That however is a whole different argument.

That’s my point. A parent should keep a child out of a fire, right? If they don’t, do we as a society let the child burn because it was unlucky enough to have crappy parents?
