Many people on this site seem in favor of these age-based government restrictions on working. But at the same time, it seems they also opposed age-based government restrictions in many other areas like access to particular kinds of online content. These positions seem like a contradiction to me. Why do they think that it is reasonable for the state to restrict a child's ability to work but not their access to online content?
- dicriseg 3y agoBecause you can’t actually restrict access to online content. Also, “restricting a child’s ability to work” is a funny way of framing a policy goal of keeping children engaged in education instead of being exploited as cheap labor.
