      tell us, oh wise one, how else do you plan to keep children off social media? a tick box that asks if they are under 15?

        It’s a recommendation for parents and just educates them on the dangers of social media for younger people.

              How am I a troll by giving you information? I legit gave you links to news articles about it and even another lemmy post (posted by someone else) about it happening in California too. How is that trolling?

              Nah. Just sorta pointing out that all politicians are really sucky and it’s not just republicans. That, in fact, it’s rich politicians who reside on both sides of the political aisle that suck and don’t look out for us?

              I hope people are finally seeing the light. No one is looking out for us. No. One.

      Given the shit job parents are doing around social media, it fully justifies a nanny.

        Agree. I am usually against stuff like this, but yeah, I think it’s pretty justified here.

      Which is what Lemmy loves though. Lemmy doesn’t want anyone with different opinions to even be allowed on Lemmy. LMAO How ironic.
