      Yea, great reason to continue to let them be exploited, manipulated and have their data harvested by big tech.

      How many of these absolutely worthless trends that last 2 weeks and dangerous “challenges” propogate on social media? All of them.

      You don’t think neurodivergent and disabled kids would be more susceptable (is that how its spelled?) to that?

      The argument for community and inclusion through big tech social media is bullshit too because there are plenty of other digital forms of communication that can cater to that - issue being big tech has them all convinced its the only platform for it.

      So all up not quite sure what your point is?

      For clarification, I do not support identity checks for age verification. I support kids getting off exploitative platforms that are proven to negatively impact them. If FB and the like stayed like it was in 2012 and didnt devolve into the manipulation machine it is now I wouldnt even be typing this.
