    prohibition simply doesn’t work. Especialy with social constructs. Try telling teens that they shouldn’t listen to a specific music genre lol

    There are million other better ways to handle and this law just seems like a bunch of populist drivel:

    Therefore, the next step will be to push forward an age verification solution specifically for social media.

    So, now because some parents suck at parenting I should provide my ID to Instagram? How incredibly dumb is that?

    As a parent myself I’m so tired of shitty parents ruining it for everyone. Just talk with your kids, it’s really not that hard.

      Interesting. Not going to debate much further with you, but I’m always a bit envious when I run into other parents who claim they have 100% control over their kids. I don’t. My child is grown now, but I absolutely did not. They were their own person, that no matter how much I talked to them had their own life and struggles.

      And prohibition does work in some cases. See, cigarettes. Smoking has been in the fall for a long time especially among the young.

      But I’m glad your kid will never have any problems ever and if they do that you admit it could have been solved by you talking to them.
