Sorry, but that logic is absolute and total bullshit.

Adults are extremely bad at making decisions in their best interests too. Why does the government have to oppress kids to protect them, but you when the exact same logic is applied to adults, that’s a problem?

It’s all oppression. It’s all wrong. Kids should have autonomy too.

It's you who was suggesting adults of certain age should be banned from social media, not me. You don't get to then say 'It’s all oppression. It’s all wrong.' in the next sentence. You're being a hypocrite.

There's a good reason we don't let kids eat sand, hit their friend, drive cars, vote, watch porn, drink alcohol and smoke tobacco. Their brains are undeveloped. They don't know any better. They're entitled to autonomy when they're capable of it.
