    My comment was tongue-in-cheek.

    But I’m not sure I follow you here: this wave of proposals does mean trouble on many levels, but how does limiting the younger part of the world from accessing social media limit what truth is available to me regarding what the rich and powerful are up to?

      I thought it went without saying, but, okay.

      Why is religion so successful? It’s because of early indoctrination. Religion wouldn’t be successful without it because adults can see it’s a scam. So you sell it to kids who don’t know any better and they grow up believing it. Then they’re kinda stuck with it.

      Likewise, the Trump-Epstein class don’t like how we have all kinds of sources that can report on the bad shit they do. You only let kids access the news through controlled sources, they grow up trusting those sources.

      They are also attempting to funnel adults through the approved sources as well, they’re just doing it in other measures. Why do you think they’re jacking up the prices of computers and phones? They don’t want you looking there. They want you looking at the TV and listening to the radio, where they control what you see.

      It doesn’t seem that serious now, but it will in 10-15 years if they have their way. It’s a long con.
