It's more about experience than age. If you prevent 13 year olds from gaining online experience, they'll have the same level of inexperience when you expose them to the internet at 16.

So you agree it's good to expose them in a limited way between 13-16 so they gain some experience without being preyed on by predators like Epstein and Kotick?

You agree the law is good then or do you think we should hook babies up to iPads to build up immunity like RFK and the antivax cultists that believe in chickenpox parties over regulations.
