I don’t think it’s about feeling complicit. It’s about Facebook being actually complicit.
Your age of consent discussion is way off base. Most US states put the age of consent below 18 and getting married at 16 is legal all over the place. The outrage isn’t about a 16-year-old girl getting married, it’s about her being sold.
- nradov 8y agoDelaware and New Jersey banned child marriage this year. I expect many other states will soon do the same.
- mikeash 8y agoI expect you’re right. However, that ban is entirely about forced marriages. It covers all marriages only because it’s too difficult to figure out which is which. So again, the outrage isn’t about 16-year-olds getting married, but 16-year-olds being forced to marry.
