This'll also extend far beyond American borders. We're all in for some... interesting times...

I am becoming convinced that trying to establish a generally applicable age limit is the wrong way to go about these types of things, but instead we must focus on identifying the specific developmental markers which represent each phase and focus on those. We should teach parents to "read" their children's progress and determine dynamically, based on both general data and individual empirical observations. Some children may not be ready for Social Media even at 16, while others who have more natural social inclinations may be hampered by a delayed introduction of these realities.

We've been treating the subject of children like they're a bulk product, but they're just as individually specific as any other human being. They just lack a fully defined brain structure and the contextualisation and understanding which come from life experience, but I doubt anyone could argue they don't have a personality or cognitive uniqueness.

Note: I am not talking about the age of consent! That one should always be a thing!

Yepyep, did the same on mine, I just zoomed the page out.

Honestly, really hope they did this on purpose, although I've seen plenty of cases where someone forgot to scale the text to Mobile and it went careening off-screen.

This whole AI thing is starting to feel less like focused research and more like Free Jazz jam night at the local dive.

Exactly, this seems a bit flimsy as far as links go... I mean, a better explanation would be the tendency of more inquisitive people to stay informed about pretty much everything, which will inevitably lead to a higher incidence of avoiding ad links. I'd also posit inquisitiveness is a "gateway" for Left-leaning views for the same reason - inquisitive people want to understand and make informed decisions. So, yeah, correlation without direct causation, which also applies to my example. But it just goes to show how easy it is to fall in these traps.
