    Where are you getting “corporate website”? when it would affect all social media websites including Lemmy and Mastodon or your moms blog comments.

    The idea of online social exchange of opinions or experiences is absolutely a social construct. We literally didn’t have this and now it’s part of every single person’s life in some shape. How can you just prohibit that? Imagine prohibiting phone calls lol it’s incredibly stupid.

    Again you compare this to substances and driving? You can’t be serious here? If you can’t even understand this issue then you shouldn’t be parenting let alone tell other people how to.

      It could affect those things. But like I agreed with before, it should be handled carefully and this is a big reason. I distinguish simply between Facebook for example and ma’s blog. One tries to make money by gathering data and targeting advertising to people intentionally addicted to a platform. The other is, you know… a blog.

      If the law outlawed the online exchange of ideas, I too would be among its biggest opponents but that is probably a strawman.

      As far as me parenting? Sure. With the benefit of hindsight, I’m not sure I was fit either, but I did my best.
