> Acting like we should be seriously treating children and teens as an equal political group is a joke

Yeah this thread is wild, maybe because those speaking “on behalf” of children here are actually all children?

Age restrictions for social media are as logical and necessary as they are for driving, drinking, etc. It isn’t just a concern about self-harm. The general public has a stake in this too in the long run, and it’s a safety and security issue for them as well. (If you don’t believe this is true, just think about how much power Facebook already has over elections, and how much more they will have if literally everyone alive grows up on Facebook and doesn’t think that power is worth questioning)

Years from now we’ll all be surprised we didn’t arrive at this conclusion sooner.
