> Social media is undermining the fabric of our societies and destroying a whole generations emotional development and institutionalising a culture of infectious insecurity. I support this-

YOU are undermining the fabric of society.

With the excuse of "protecting children" you're trying to destroy the last semblances of privacy and the ability to dissent.

Fuck your using children as a shield. You're hurting them like you did supporting covid policies.

You don't help children isolating them and censoring them and their parents.

Disgusting Propaganda of the lowest form. War on terror. War on drugs. War on disinformation.



I don't want privacy to be gone. I want a free internet to still exist for those who are educated enough to bypass firewalls and monitors, I would kill to have a knowledge gated internet again, but I want barriers to harm for children. Why do we card kids for R18+ games but not the internet. It's fundamentally stupid and unhealthy for our society.

If everyone moved back to non algorithmically addictive forums and self segregated by age I would have no issues with that and wouldn't see the need for regulation. That is not the world we live in and we have so obviously seen people self select a terrible and damaging digital world that gives idiocracy a run for its money. Hysteria is sometimes a warranted reaction.

I think it is an important step making social media illegal for children to them reclaiming reality, and re seperating the adult and child social worlds like they used to be. The implementation is the main part for many and I get that.


Your censorship is fundamentally stupid and harmful for society.

You're an authoritarian throughout and through and want to impose your tyranny through "keep you safe" like every tyrant.

You're the useful supporter and as much to blame as the corrupt politicians who enact these things.

Who on earth are you that you want to tell everyone else how to live. So conceited that you think you should rule over other people's kids.


You're so morally detached from the situation it's borderline sociopathic. Keep living your techno libertarian larp fantasy, I'm sure it's so much more important than the real world.

Peoples lives aren't just hypothetical moral scenarios to point score on. Inaction has had and will continue to have real world consequences that you refuse to address. Don't complain about how bad the world is if you wont give up a single inch of your life to accomodate others and made their childhood in this sociopathic modern hellscape any easier. Have you even seen how much more stunted this generation is in ideology, emotion and idealism. If a non regulated internet worked for children we wouldn't be here.


You're a piece of human garbage and call me morally detached. Go f yourself.

Techno libertarian fantasy? Dude. You don't know anything about history. Get some life experience. Fight real injustice some day and come back to me. Have you ever engaged in politics or been at a protest?

> Inaction has had and will continue to have real world consequences that you refuse to address.

Inaction is better than action when the action is harmful theater.

> Don't complain about how bad the world is if you wont give up a single inch of your life to accomodate others and made their childhood in this sociopathic modern hellscape any easier

You're a predator. See how easy it is to paint scary pictures? Modern hellscape? Lol

> Have you even seen how much more stunted this generation is in ideology, emotion and idealism. If a non regulated internet worked for children we wouldn't be here.

You're a zealot. Really. You've made no arguments but appeals to emotions and attacks. We're done. We're not scared of you, your accusations or your fake morals. You're exactly like a religious zealot coming to oppress us for our greater good. No one asked you. Our speech, bodies and mind, our choice. Over my fucking dead body, authoritarian parasite.
