Well this is terrifying. It really seems like there is little to no regulation protecting kids online these days.
Because all the laws that were pushed in the last twenty-five years for protecting children weren’t actually about protecting children
They’re all about increased conservative control over other people’s kids
And adults too. When you combine "the law says you can't offer this service to children or we'll destroy you" with "there's no way to reliably tell if the people we're offering this service to are children" the result is "guess we can't offer this service to anyone."
