Should we let teenagers buy alcohol since some get past the measures and buy anyway? Cigarettes? Drive a car?

[NVHacker]

No! But we should allow them use of the regulated social media.

Social media is barely regulated and the New America will likely retaliate if non-American countries regulate it in way required for productive participation of 16 year old children.

Alcohol is regulated, why not let them have it too?

[wongogue]

They have access to messaging and interest/group based social media. Just not public algorithmic feeds.
