@gabrielesvelto We must disobey age segregation and ageism.

@tymwol it's a shame we don't have a legal definition for a man-child

@gabrielesvelto what's the point of banning kids from literal children's games, if a 5yo kid wants to use a tablet they would simply ask their parents to bypass the security and use it anyways. These laws are not protecting anyone

I beg to disagree here.
Where us oldies settle for the ”rational” (i.e. norm conformist & status quo preserving) option, teenagers and young adults are the ones to stay defending the moral high ground. Think of animal rights, LGBTQ+, fridays for future, and now sober curiosity. All youth movements.
Billionaires are more like infants kicking and screaming for more of everything. Difference is infants eventually become teenagers and young adults.

Let's not. Kids are people, not property to be muted at a whim. If they have something to say, the government has no business stopping them from saying it in the place where the general public will hear them, and in 2026 that place is social media.
Frankly I'm shocked at how quickly freedom of speech flies out the window. When I was in school, I was taught that freedom of speech is sacred and our ancestors died for it! Am I the only one who took it to heart?

And what would you sacrifice it for? The convenience of not having to set up parental controls on the devices you give your children? That hardly justifies the burden you'd impose on everyone else.
Are you perhaps worried that your kids will find some other adult who will give them another, unlocked device and social media account to use? Because even with age verification they can still do that!

@Space_Burger_Steve @txtechnician @gabrielesvelto
What a weird concept, social media owned by a non profit. I don't think it could scale.
What if instead of one social media site, someone were to make a protocol where a bunch of smaller ones that are a reasonable size to be run by a nonprofit or co op can talk to each other as if they were one big network?

You could almost call it a 'federation'
, but without the 'starfleet command' bit. -

I take it your teen isn't interested in doing it themselves?
I know I'd have been all over it when I was that age. I'd have been all, “I could run my own social media site? HOLY S**T WHERE DO I SIGN?!?”
Sadly I was on dialup…
