That's how the government eliminates the basic rights. Step by step. Starting with small things. Almost always with "defend children" slogans

I always wondered why they didn't let kids have sex, smoke cigarettes, drive cars, drink alcohol forced them to go to school etc. It was all about taking away their rights /s

Its not like there isnt endless amounts of research showing social medias toxicity. Better to ban it outright but here we are.
