I'm beginning to think our elected officials have not actually been kids. Either they are too old to remember or they're legit lizard people who never been a human child.

It seems more like adults virtue signalling to each other than crafting legislation grounded in reality.

Everyone knows this was never going to stop kids. It’s weirdly controlling.

That having been said, if you’re resorting to all the stuff I would have done as a tech-oriented kid to …access Meta products? Then I don’t understand you.
