An Angus Reid survey says three-quarters of more than 4,000 respondents are in favour of a ban like the one in Australia, where youth under 16 are prevented from setting up accounts on TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat and Threads.

    Lmao, and how many children do you have, oh wise one?

    I mean, with that logic, why do we ban cigarettes from kids too? Why not just let cigarette companies advertise and sell cigarettes to kids, and just “hold parents accountable for the actions of their children”?

      Boot lick harder

      My servers should not be legally required to verify my age. My TV should not be legally required to verify my age. Parents should be legally required to monitor and filter their children’s access to the internet.

        Lmao, the guy defending using Instagram is calling others a bootlicker?

        Please social media companies, fuck everyone harder, we can’t possibly have a TV maker have the ability to lock it down with parental controls, society would collapse if that were to happen!

        Oh wait, literally every single TV sold in the past 25 years has had that.
