    Well this is terrifying. It really seems like there is little to no regulation protecting kids online these days.

        Well, yes but stuff like chatbots, social media should be way better regulated.

        Right now we see the equivalent of people selling drugs and guns freely in the streets (including to toddlers) and expect the parents to regulate all that.

        Society is being actively eroded, while governments are fecklessly watching it happen.

            I’d have to write 2 PhD thesis’s about this to answer this one question properly.

            Instead I’m just doing 2 examples and keep it shallow :

            Th is case: A 14yo should not have completely unsupervised access to an ai chat bot - it needs to be by family/child account, same as for e.g. Fortnite. Also, given the nature of the matter and looking at the article: if the chat turns ’disturbing’ the parent needs to be made aware. (Etc etc)

            Another case is TikTok: honestly, I’d just ban it together with shorts and reels. IMO this rots the brains of the younger generation. I’m not even sure there is a healthy way of consuming this type of content.

              Okay. But by what mechanism would these things be enforced without encroaching on the privacy and freedoms of adults? It’s the same problems as policing porn or violent media. No one wants the government looking over their shoulder.
