    I’m half and half. I get it, liability and all.

    I do think it’s healthy for young people to get more info outside of the bubble of their family and school and we got away with crazy shit on the internet back in the day.

    But that was also when the internet was relatively new and a lot of sketchy shit was being done to kids online during that time. Governments today are cracking down on sites that allow kids to use them, and no one wants to be the site admin who convinced yet another European country to draft draconian “think of the children” anti-privacy laws.

    The other part of it too is, c’mon, basically rule #1 of using the internet is never admit when you’re underage. Like every other Millennial out there, I was born on Jan 1, 1960.
