I wish parents would just step up and take responsibility for their own children instead of making the rest of society deal with it
I don’t think parents, most of who have a job and don’t keep their kids under surveillance 24/7, can hope to compete with dozens of corporations with whole teams dedicated to making their platform addictive. I view the parental responsibility in the same way I view carbon footprints: a way to shift blame from corporations to individuals. I think this view also leads to individual-focused solutions that surveil people (age checks, etc) rather than systemic ones that regulate corporations.

Agreed. They need to direct their ire toward the corporations instead of my (and everyone else’s) freedoms.

I said this somewhere else, but I was just being facetious. I think it’s funny to turn the conservative mentality against conservative movements lol
