Kids want attention, thats why social media is so dangerous for them; they're sitting ducks for predators. I work with kids and except for legit ipad babies, kids treat cellphones like a backup when there's nothing better to do... they prefer playing games with other kids or engaging their parents/role-models. I personally see zero downsides to this. I genuinely hope Canada follows suite. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 3 points 8 months ago (1 child) I personally see zero downsides to this I would encourage you to read my comment in another thread. There's the beginning of a good idea in this legislation, but nearly everything about how it's actually done is awful. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Canconda@lemmy.ca 3 points 8 months ago but nearly everything about how it's actually done is awful.
