The issue is that the internet is too ubiquitous. It'd be like trying to stop teenagers from smoking cigarettes when there are cigarette trees all over the place. While I agree parents need to do better, somethings become so big they are a societal problem. Simply saying "We need better parenting" unfortunately won't fix the state we're in.
Maybe I am wrong. Maybe the government should be reeling in the social media and advertising companies. But I would trust Facebook's Age verification system less than one created by the EU for example with our NFC enabled IDs.
All I know is that Mass Social Media has been poison to young people, and I don't really see a way to put that cat back in the bag.
What would you suggest? How do you "fix" parenting? Or do you not think that there is a problem at all with the interent for the youth today?
