    Its basically illegal to be young. I don’t think this is going to change anything. Kids are on the internet because they cant legally express being anything but a minor until they’re a third through their life. They’re constantly monitored, censored, and scrutinized. I think large tech corps are exploiting a real need kids have to participate. Sometimes ::tin foil hat:: I believe this is by design. Thanks for coming to my tedx talk.

      you’re expected to be grown up and mature by 18 which is impossible because you could never make any experiences at all

      you can’t drive anywhere if you grow up in a rural area and your parents refuse to drive you anywhere (happened to me, mum only let me see that one kid from rich parents to socialize because she wanted me to “grow up in good neighborhood” - needless to say, it didn’t work out and we don’t have contact anymore).
