    Cringe. But yes, let’s please continue migrating responsibility for child safety from parents to the government and megacorps.

      I think these companies hold at least some responsibility to not push things like hate speech and conspiracy theories at users they know are children. They shouldn’t have to make the whole experiment “G” rated, but they also shouldn’t be allowed to push things at kids that when confronted about them, the same company states those things break their TOS and shouldn’t be on their platform to begin with.
