Parents have been complaining about books, tv, radio... If your an American of a certain age Tipper gore was complaining about music corrupting children....
Moving the goal posts all the time is a terrible means to form an argument.
When your kid is reading a book, watching TV, radio, playing a video game, etc you still have a -general- idea of what the kid is into. When it comes to something like TikTok, YouTube, etc they are one swipe away from literally anything. I don't think a kid 5-7 years of age can truly grasp it. I've been very online for a long time, but I don't think that really started until I was 15 or so. A 5-7 year old kid having access to certain thing is just awful parenting.

Sure is, but what do you want a system where we have to license people before the can have kids? Because there have been quite a few dumb, irresponsible parents that have birth brilliance.

Comparing this to Tipper Gore is so ridiculous. It's as to write off potential concerns because she was against video games and rap music, then applying that logic to an algorithm that is specifically designed to draw you in and make you consume. Forums and Newsgroups were also much harder to find. Google didn't even exist at that point (or at the very least wasn't popularized); it took minutes to get a single "explicit" image to load. Not only that, but the idea of a "filter bubble" didn't exist, because generally speaking information was harder to find, but also more diverse once you found it. That isn't true once you're sucked into an algorithm. I said in another post, I think you could let a kid explore around the age of 13 on these platforms. It's still probably not healthy, but 5 years old? That's insanity, and for the numbers to be near 30% is outrageous.

Weird jump in logic here. I was never suggesting this. You can be concerned about something and not want such drastic measures. That is usually how adults operate. Teenager logic deals in absolutes like this.
