Not giving them unfettered access to a smartphone or a social media account is different than not letting them have any access to the internet. Not sure which you’re advocating for because you’ve said both. Either way, I don’t think we disagree as much as we agree. Parents, not the state, are the right people to address these issues with their kids. I’m old enough, have young kids of my own, and they have access to the internet and smart devices with our oversight and guidance. Unfettered access would be stupid. But so is keeping them from learning how to use modern technology responsibly by taking it away completely. Anyway, this wasn’t supposed to be an argument. Parents need to be in control of this for their kids’ safety and upbringing, not the state. 🤝
