"We should ban kids from the Internet until they turn 18"

I had a hard enough time finding people like me even with the Internet. Finding anyone locally who was anything like me was impossible.

The idea that people want to actively cut people away from their support networks, to isolate them from others, and banish the youth to a primitive 20th century lifestyle? That's fucking bullshit.

What next, do you also propose that kids only be allowed to speak to their parents, no one else?

@hadley We should banish kids from specifically corporate owned social media until they're 18. Make them find likeminded individuals the same way we did, with mailing lists and bulletin boards, and let them be moderated by fallible humans so they learn how to negotiate existence with the willing rather than with the whims of billionaire overlords.

We're a lot better at protecting kids from drug dealers than Snapchat is.

@hadley Banning minors from the internet is just going to turn out how homeschooling usually does-- with abuse.
