@mischi2000 @Gargron Just leave parenting to parents, the world does not need 'nanny states'.

@harib_murshidi @mischi2000 @Gargron Public schools teaching critical thinking skills makes for a "nanny state"?

For someone with a hammer and sickle symbol in their name that's quite the libertarian take.

@Asimech @mischi2000 @Gargron

When did I say that 'public schools teaching critical thinking skills' make for a nanny state ?! 😐

@harib_murshidi Re-read the comment you're replying to with your "the world does not need 'nanny state's."

Or do you not count "teaching children how to use social media responsibly and how to recognize fake news and the like" as "critical thinking skills"?

@Asimech #digitalid and #ageverification is not 'teaching' any of those things ! and it's the responsibilty of parents to allow/disallow their kids access to devices that allow them access to such platforms, that's the job of 'parents' to monitor their activities and when a parent does that it does not qualify as spying but at most a bit of 'helicopter parenting'
