"ad liberi"? Not super clear in casual use...

• schoen 8y ago
  That would need to be an accusative, "ad liberos".

  More recognizable in casual use might be “ad infantum", which I think is grammatically correct but I don't Latin much.

    I'd always seen it being wider than "just children" More of a "I'm concerned by the effect of this on minds I consider more feeble than my own (due to some massive superiority complex I'm in possession of)" i.e. My own massive intellect is capable of withstanding this 'thing' - but we should ban it to protect the feeble-minded (and I'm too chicken to call others that, so instead I'll do it by proxy). More serious point is that when a democratic process (Brexit, Trump, Netanyahu, Erdoğan, Putin, whatever) doesn't return what you what - we all retreat to our talk of "the others" (or you could flip the whole think around depending on your personal beliefs). It just detest my/others/everybody's unwillingness to examine the lazy/meaningless terms we all bandy around and start pinning our shitty arguments to. I'm not pro or anti "screen-time" - I just hate the term as it's not anything anybody should have an actual opinion on.
