I saw this article, which made me think about it…

Kids under 16 to be banned from social media after Senate passes world-first laws


Seeing what kind of brainrot kids are watching, makes me think it’s a good idea. I wouldn’t say all content is bad, but most kids will get hooked on trash content that is intentionally designed to grab their attention.

What would be an effective way to enforce a restriction with the fewest possible side effects? And who should be the one enforcing that restriction in your opinion?

    We can’t even keep knives out of prisons. How tf are we supposed to keep kids off the Internet?

      Right!? Kids will make their own Internet and social media from old phones and outdated routers laying around…
