    I don’t believe you read the article nor gave this any thought before you made your flippant comment. Also, you give no reasoning for your dogmatic statements.

      I read the piece and have been thinking about this daily for thirty years.

      The guy is right and the piece sucks.

      It’s borderline satanic panic that hasn’t thought through the downstream ramifications of even attempting to implement age gates online. And as the previous poster says the negative effects of social media are at the absolute least just as bad in adults. The scaremongering about drug dealers and pedophiles is just that.

          Really? You were going for some Socratic roundabout ironic thing? Could have just said what you thought, saved everybody the trouble. That feels a bit patronizing.

            @remington is all about healthy discussion. He doesn’t mind when people disagree, just as long as they say why.

              Patronizingly cryptic AND with disciples coming in behind him to explain his whole deal.

              He should watch out for roaming cups of hemlock, just in case.

            No.

            That feels a bit patronizing.

            That was not my intent. I apologize if anyone felt this way.
