>The vast majority of the population supports banning social media for kids so revolution isn't happening. reddit isn't the vast majority of the population, fren. it's 1% of 4%. unless you've got polls you could show to back up your claim? polls, not opinion pieces. polls asking unambiguous questions like "are you in favor of banning social media?" or "are you in favor of age verification laws?", not vague ones like "are you concerned about the content your kids might see on the internet?". got any of those? | |||||||||||||||||
