I feel like this article is about 25 years too late.

If you read the article you’ll find the context, which is that Australia recently enacted a law restricting social media sites to ages 16+.

The point is that children are still routinely using social media despite the law being in force.

It’s amazing that they banned social media for kids. Now they just need to enforce it! We need better monitoring on kids. We need to shutdown TikTok forever! We need tech guards in the house at all times!!! Get the state after these kids. Lock up their parents! \s
