    Kids 16 and under accessing social media. Responsibility should be on their parents and household, not the government.

      Gonna have to disagree with you for two reasons:

      • it’s not actually illegal (except in Australia soon I guess)
      • when everyone’s a user, the social aspect makes it practically impossible for single households to impose limits without making their child a pariah

        Fair, not yet but the bill has passed and it’s now being written into law in Australia, where I live. I agree that it’ll be difficult for the child to be the odd one out if most people in society are doing something that they’re banned from doing at home but when has that stopped society from progressing? Why teach to cave into societal pressure when you can apply critical thinking as to why it’s being limited in the first place?
