When I was 8. Got home from school and straight out to play with my friends. Played loads of games. Played lots of sports. We all looked out for each other by walking each other home. Etc etc. My niece at the same age dances looking at a scream. That’s it. Take the iPad off her she melts down. That’s not ever talking into account grooming on the net.

"grooming" lol. You have to understand, all of these social media networks are running everything said through advanced AI algorithms to look for this kind of stuff. It's not to say it doesn't happen, but it's very rare, and it's pretty easy to catch. The algorithms are pretty easy to write, This is just a republican talking point.

Waste of time. Why can’t they just make better legislation and build more parks and playgrounds
