you can’t remove my comment, I have a right to free speech!
Note how we didnt remove your comment, but engaged with it instead.
these* people shouldn’t be allowed to exercise the same free speech rights as me.
13 year olds dont really belong on the internet, especially social media like TikTok or Lemmy. Plus demanding 13 year olds listen to you when they arent in your care is really fucking weird.
Also conservatives: we really need to tell these people how to raise their kids.
Child abuse laws exist for a really good reason. So does the drinking age, and smoking. Why should this be any different?
Republicans scream and shout about “Democrats telling parents how to raise their kids.”
Republicans are now banning kids from social media. Sure, thats a good step.
But how do you respond to the hypocrisy of “republicans can tell parents how to raise your kids”?
Isn’t the republican view “its up to the parents how they raise their kids”, so why are republicans now celebrating telling parents they aren’t allowed to let their children on social media?
Edit - downvoted and no response. Typical, when asking about republican hypocrisy
If you look at the law closely it restricts children under 14 from creating an account. Parents can create an account and give their children access. Children under 14 can’t consent to terms and shouldn’t be permitted to create accounts.
There is no government getting in between parents and kids, this law just requires a legal guardian to provide consent to their children having accounts.

You used a whole lot of words to say nothing of value.
Specifically what do you disagree or agree about ?
Studies have shown social media is damaging to the mental health of children. As such young children shouldn’t be overly exposed to it.

Ill ask it in a much clearer way.

I am not opposed to this at all. Social media is toxic to children and limiting their access is best.
If parents can allow their children access, so be it.
I didn’t allow my kid to access social media until she was 16 and even then, we had to have her PW to check on her account.

I refuted your word salad. That wasn’t hard to do.
Maybe instead of calling people dishonest, you should look to your own behavior.
You can’t even point out Anything specific you dislike. I actually cited a study showing why this is a good idea.

For children yes. Children don’t have the same rights as adults.
Liberals are more likely to be mentally ill. Conservatives are less likely to be mentally ill. As such we are fine on social media.

We are the reasonable ones. I don’t associate with those people. Those people act more like democrats.

There’s no way all of these removed comments were worthy of removal.
