i really hope 40 years from now people will look at banning kids from social media the way people now look at the satanic panic of the 80s

some of y'all are being real fucking weird about this metaphor and i can't say i super appreciate it

apparently i need to spell this out: both these things are about control, and "won't someone please think about the children" is primarily just pretext, just like it always is

if they gave a shit about the children they'd legislate the companies profiting from it all, not unilaterally yeeting kids out of society's public platforms

@eniko if they cared about kids, they'd prosecute everyone in the Epstein files. If they cared about kids, they'd institute universal school lunch. If they cared about kids, they'd have made real efforts in gun control. If they cared about kids, they'd institute universal child care, health care, public spaces, libraries...
