Implying that other media companies, like TV or magazine companies, do not target children and don’t influence their minds? And have done so since long before the Internet became available to children? Or what now?

So, you see no difference between phones and magazines?

It’s like saying we never asked for licenses to drive a horse and buggy, why demand them for cars that go twenty times as fast?

  No. I see no moral difference. Human rights declarations (such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, European Convention on Human Rights, Convention on Rights of the Child) protect freedom of speech and/or expression regardless of medium, so I have those on my side.

    And all of those differentiate between adults and children, so I have that on my side.
