The guardrails already exist. Put parental controls on your kid’s devices. Done, solved. Block social media sites, monitor what they’re doing online. Don’t go making it mandatory for everyone to give social media companies more information than they already have.

A better comparison would be “let’s put a government mandated ID scanner on everyone’s liquor cabinet so that their kids can’t access it! Oh you don’t have kids? Too bad, still need that ID scanner!”

Maybe the focus should be on a free (government funded, ideally FOSS) parental controls software suite that makes blocking social media on all major platforms (iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, and Linux) simple and easy. Promote it to parents, and get them to parent, instead of deanonymizing the internet for everyone.

I have this one and it works well enough for controlling my media PC running Mint:

Correct, because there is no argument to be had. Intentionally refusing to use someone’s pronouns is unacceptable, every time, with 0 exceptions. If there’s a dire need to be explicitly clear you’re talking about a single person, you could just use their name in that instance.

Probably because singular “they” predates singular “you” grammatically. Should we go back to using thou and thee instead of the singular you as well?

It depends, some states in the USA do have safety inspections, but most don’t. I can’t speak for any of the other north American countries though.

I’ve been enjoying Summit! It does piefed too!
