- bsenftner 4y agoHow's about we start testing for maturity, and despite a person being 45 years of age, their maturity tests to be 12 years of age, so no social media for them. That would actually be significantly better for everyone involved. But who can trust anyone with a "maturity test" and then who can be trusted to administer said test honestly? Perhaps our entire society is immature and nobody deserves social media?

- bsenftner 4y agoThis is, in my opinion, a serious issue facing the human race today: we have a material number of flat out immature adults, and some of those immature idiots (looking at you Elon, and you Murdock, and many more) are far too powerful for their childish insatiable minds.
- DoreenMichele 4y agoI don't disagree with that. I just don't think banning people from the internet is the answer.
- eimrine 4y agoWho will test a maturity of maturity test developers? They will be kind of a shaping factor for a society.
- bsenftner 4y agoMy point was that such a test is impossible.
