How the fuck is banning kids from social media taking away their access to communication with their friends? That’s a non-sequiter.
Comment on Banning from social media

Take away the kids access to communicate with friends and what the fuck do they have left? It’s not like we have youth centers or shit any more. Barely had any when I was a kid; that’s why I fell in love with the internet.

Before the Internet, kids lived isolated existences that precluded communication. They would sit in their rooms, listen to records, and engage in immoral masterbatory behavior.

It’s true. For the first 18yrs of my life I never encountered another kid, just whacked it and played Sabbath records backwards to summon the devil. As soon as I turned 18 I was ready to join the greater community of godless dopesmokers, D&D players, and pornography connoisseurs.

Social media isn’t the entirety of the internet. Banning them from social media doesn’t preclude other forms of digital communication.

because they made friends through social media and have no other communication channels with those friends?

It’s not taking away kids access to communicate with friends though. There’s a million and one ways kids can communicate these days. It’s taking away adults’ access to other people’s children.
I agree the pedogarchy is the main issue here, and if you kept up with the 1% of files that were released you would know that having access to children on social media was part of their plan. We can attack that plan from both ends without some slippery slope bullshit about how children need facebook to stay in touch with each other. We all know that’s some grade a bolognium.gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 5 weeks ago

well, i grew up in the countryside and we did have youth centers. i can guarantee you i made a wide circle around them, in the sense that i avoided them like the plague
it’s not the absence of youth centers that’s the problem, it’s the fact that i grew up in a very backwards rural countryside full of the exact type of shitheads that you would expect to find there. one person more annoying than the next, the excesses in alcohol consumption weren’t the worst part, it was how people looked at people who didn’t fit their definition of “normal”. really not a good place to be.

Educate child and parent on how social media and internet work and give parent powerful content restrict tool.
Otherwise no internet access for child.

You Free the slaves by banning slavery. Not by banning the biggest slave owners.
Free the kids.
