Now platforms have to figure out how to enforce it.

    That would require us paying one parent enough to cover the other parent being a child care expert. But nobody gets to profit off of that so fuck society, everybody works, and nobody gets community goods except the wealthy.

        if social media is fediverse, you’re right; if social media is agents of surveillance capitalism, fuck social media

        what’s “social” about what most people call social media?

            even YouTube got in an exception list. So it’s not an “all or nothing” approach, it seems.

                even “crash course” alone is enough of a reason to keep YouTube accessible

        but but that requires actually effort and budget that we’d have to take away from Australian oligarchs!

        A social safety net you say… like a place we could gather all the children to teach them things and let them play under supervision?

            What? No! They can have their own age appropriate place to learn and play under supervision.

                But what about those Parental Responsibilities you were talking about earlier? Are you saying we now need extra social safety nets for kids who don’t fit the mold and get bullied? Extra places for them to learn and play under supervision? Because I don’t think that’s going to be economical without boarding them there, away from their parents.
