Making laws with the intent they will be broken is different from having an understanding they will be broken.

People break speed limits every day. There is no intent they will be broken but an understanding that it will happen. Overall though, people obey them and roads are safer as a result.

I feel that parental responsibility and carefully crafted regulation can coexist to protect children. Device makers can also make it easier to access such settings or a “kids mode”.

I think most parents know techbros have created an internet that is generally not safe for children and do their best to take measures to account for that. Any system that empowers parents to do that is welcome.

Kids today are not tech savvy. UIs are streamlined and bugs are much less common in popular apps so they have to do less self directee troubleshooting to learn from.

Regulation doesn’t always have to produce absolute prevention, even strong deterrence can be impactful.

We’ve seen how excessive porn consumption impacts the development (particularly of boys) so increased regulation is a thoughtful move.

These the excuses you start to make when you’re losing. Not looking great for the US…
