More and more things we give away because parents can't be bothered to parent their kids. This is exactly how they win by slowly chiseling away our perceived rights until there is nothing left. I'll certainly not participate in any Internet that requires me to shed my anonymity.
Okay, this has nothing to do with parents parenting their kids. It has 100% to do with the perception that the internet is dangerous and using that perception to collect information about people. That's what they want, to put a name and face to all interpersonal interactions so they can use them for marketing and law enforcement.
Social media converted half of Americans into nazis in about a decade and elected Trump twice. If you don’t think the internet is dangerous, you’re not paying attention.
That said, it’s easy to keep kids off instagram and TikTok without spying. Simply require devices to which children have access to be sold without access to half the internet. Problem solved.
Some folks would say half of America had always been either Nazis or Nazi sympathizers. But we just call those later groups, Nazis.
