Parents should:

Throw away their TVs and minimize screen time at home[1].

Be responsible for the upbringing of their own children[2].

Learn how to be parents; the government shouldn't force companies to do parenting instead[3].

Not have had children in the first place[4].

Be the ones responsible for parenting their own children[5].

Actually parent their kids and not rely on the government to nanny them[6].

Get to decide what content their children, then like me, you would oppose any kind of legislation with this goal in mind[7].

I could go on. My point is that HN has a long tradition of distrusting regulation especially when it comes to parenting. I have no problem acting as a lightning rod for that arugment.

> HN has a long tradition of distrusting regulation especially when it comes to parenting

Sure. HN is also filled with folks who don’t vote or believe in calling their electeds. Parenting has collective-responsibility elements. I’m not saying I support this instance of it. But in general, the argument that parenting has to be a solely individual responsibility while tech companies pillage our youth is a flawed pitch. (My personal view on this balance flipped with social media.)
