again, bad faith argument.

as you said, the internet isn't being banned, so why would you stretch what i said to mean "ban letters"? sending letters to minors might require age verification if it were a real problem, you already need to verify your age to open a cell service, children can't sign up for mobile plans. you're trying to make this about something it's not so you can win an argument, I don't care who wins the argument, let's solve the problem. Your whataboutism doesn't have solutions attached to it, only winning of internet points.

> The internet is just a "road", except it connected everyone. sex, violence, extortion, slavery, you name it.

The internet doesn't cause slavery. It's facilitates it in the sense that its a communications network. To say THE INTERNET caused slavery is like saying telephones cause drug dealing because dealers use phones to contact drug users.
