As someone who found friends and community exclusively through the online world back when I was a teen, 💯

@Gargron Unfortunately the internet is a much more toxic place than when we were teens.

@ocelot221 @Gargron Though that isn't helped by certain large actors in the space making it that way. It's a blanket ban that only helps that toxicity spread because often the internet is the safe space, take that away and you're left with whatever hell social media saved them from.

Regulate the companies, not the kids.

@Gargron Personally I'd do both. Heavy restrictions and regulations on the organisations/platforms and restrictions on the children. Then when the organisational restrictions are deemed effective, relax the rules on the users.
