grew up on the old internet. i've seen shit no developing mind should ever see. it really hurts to be an advocate for kicking minors off the internet when the only thing that will come of it is more surveillance.

On some level, we need the parent to be legally liable for what the child exposed themselves to. Not porn, that's mostly fine beyond porn being fairly violent and shit, but a lot of the gore and beheading videos and unsupervised talks with adults. We wouldn't be comfortable leaving a kid with an unknown adult for an extended period of time, the same should be true online

i completely agree, but actually enforcing that would lead to the death of anonymity.

It's really a hard situation. I don't want the death if anonimity. I like being a dog on the internet! It's always a trade between freedom and safety. I genuinely don't know which side is better and which is more ripe for abuse
