    IMO it’s more about control. I went to Christian private school. Students dating was forbidden.

    They keep children sheltered before pushing them into a marriage/parenthood that is sustained by their participation in the church community. Tho this doesn’t seem to work as well these days as I know of several marriages that ended within 1 year.

    From there it’s a simple matter of peer pressure to keep people in line. I’ve seen parents disown their children to protect their reputation at church.

    It’s a fucking cult.

    This whole conversation is such a false dichotomy. The laws can absolutely be written such that companies are required to suspend service to any suspected child without requiring ID to use the service.

    But just like pollution and everything else we’ve let them push the buck to us.

    The problem is that politicians don’t want to legislate enforcement/oversight entities as those would piss off their owners.

    Democracies need to replace their lame duck politicians with ones that aren’t bought and owned by the shareholder class who also own the social media corporations.
