Lawmakers across the country (United States) are trying to protect kids by age-gating parts of the internet.

Not to mention none of this will actually protect children. When I was 14 I told an adult online about my life and they helped me make it through some rougher periods until I got to 18. I know the internet is highly imperfect but I think gate keeping kids out of it will just lead to more underground abuse and abuse that they don’t find was abuse until they are adults.

Exactly, they don’t view children as people, they view them as objects and extensions of their parents/guardians.
