Go ahead, Travis.
I'm a full counter to Chamath on this one.
The
I think we all agree social media is bad for the kids and for the adults.
Like too much of that stuff is very bad.
It's brain rot for real.
And it's going to be worse than cigarettes.
It's all the things.
But the real point of banning under 16 is so that you can force adults to identify themselves and de-anonymize themselves.
So you can set up a full scale censorship regime, which they're sort of contemplating in the UK.
And what censorship is really about is not about harmful content.
It's about content that the people in power don't want you to see that disagrees with them.
If it agreed with them, it's not harmful.
It's the stuff that doesn't agree with them.
And so what they're doing is they're criminalizing, disagreeing with them.
And so there's a derivative of this age-based stuff.
Age-gating.
Yeah.
which is really about the adults, not the kids.
It's just yours.
