    But they’re not disallowing children smoking, drinking, or gambling here. It’s more akin to disallowing children from drinking Smirnoff, smoking Marlboros, or playing blackjack and nothing else.

        If this had anything to do with children, they’d be reigning them all in at once instead of wasting time singling one of many out.

            How do you suddenly go from comparing these platforms to alcohol and gambling, saying they have no actual utility, and saying ‘every little bit helps’ when it comes to regulation to asking why these companies actions should even be regulated and why the law should apply to them all equally, even going as far as comparing them to the role doctors play in society?

            That’s honestly one of the most abrupt 180-degree spins I’ve ever seen.

        No it’s not, you absolute buffoon. It’s a step in the direction of narrative control.
