    Prohibition works… temporarily. If you believe your child is not ready for SM, then prohibiting them from it until they are can work.

    So yes, have a mature conversation with your kids, set boundaries, etc. That’s something that should happen between a parent and a child, not between a government and a child.

      I actually agree with you, especially in the last sentence. Knowing the Cambridge Analytica Scandal, governments are definitely willing to manipulate children through control of information.

        Exactly! You may trust your government now, but another group will gain power, laws will change, etc. It’s best to not give your government too much power, especially when it comes to control of information.
