You know, someone had previously written that Meta should be held accountable. Which I guess I didn't consider too strongly.

I'm sorry, but Meta knows why "adult-run minor accounts" make them revenue. Fucking disgusting. I'd love to see some discovery on their internal metrics and how they build out that feature to drive up engagement from these horny creeps.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Kids can't consent because they're not aware of what's at stake and are easily manipulated by adults/people with authority. I know this is hn and the concentration of neckbeards is high but yes: fucking kids isn't ok

I agree. Next question: Can they consent to gender reassignment surgery?

I'm sure you've heard this before, and I'm sure you don't give a slim shit, but like 3 minors a year undergo gender reassignment surgery. After countless consultations with physicians, therapists, parents, etc. And hormone blockers aren't given out trivially either. But I have no doubt that you know this.

So, really, pretty laughably not comparable. And to directly answer your question, the answer is duh, no.

I'm sure you're equally upset about young kids being put in beauty pageants or the countless (Republican) states that have recently defended child marriage. Right? Right?

Is that a "no" on the data front, then?

I don't have data proving fucking goats is bad, yet I don't do it, it really isn't rocket science

Well, I'm glad you're managing to restrain yourself.
