you can’t remove my comment, I have a right to free speech!
Note how we didnt remove your comment, but engaged with it instead.
these* people shouldn’t be allowed to exercise the same free speech rights as me.
13 year olds dont really belong on the internet, especially social media like TikTok or Lemmy. Plus demanding 13 year olds listen to you when they arent in your care is really fucking weird.
Also conservatives: we really need to tell these people how to raise their kids.
Child abuse laws exist for a really good reason. So does the drinking age, and smoking. Why should this be any different?

You used a whole lot of words to say nothing of value.
Specifically what do you disagree or agree about ?
Studies have shown social media is damaging to the mental health of children. As such young children shouldn’t be overly exposed to it.

Ill ask it in a much clearer way.
Republicans scream and shout about “Democrats telling parents how to raise their kids.”
Republicans are now banning kids from social media. Sure, thats a good step.
But how do you respond to the hypocrisy of “republicans can tell parents how to raise your kids”?
Isn’t the republican view “its up to the parents how they raise their kids”, so why are republicans now celebrating telling parents they aren’t allowed to let their children on social media?

If you look at the law closely it restricts children under 14 from creating an account. Parents can create an account and give their children access. Children under 14 can’t consent to terms and shouldn’t be permitted to create accounts.
There is no government getting in between parents and kids, this law just requires a legal guardian to provide consent to their children having accounts.

I am not opposed to this at all. Social media is toxic to children and limiting their access is best.
If parents can allow their children access, so be it.
I didn’t allow my kid to access social media until she was 16 and even then, we had to have her PW to check on her account.

Your inability to refute my simple point is your problem, not mine. I will not be wasting time with someone who is dishonest in every interaction.
Maybe ban me again? That seems to be your MO for when you show your ass.

I refuted your word salad. That wasn’t hard to do.
Maybe instead of calling people dishonest, you should look to your own behavior.
You can’t even point out Anything specific you dislike. I actually cited a study showing why this is a good idea.

So we can ban things that are bad for mental health?
Sounds like conservatives shouldn’t be on social media then. You know, since it made them try to overthrow the government.
