Then complain about short form video (which, I should add, is probably more culturally relevant than whatever we were consuming on the Internet growing up)

Complaining about the Internet in general and how kids are "disconnected from reality" isn't going to solve anything, and will just result in more crazy ID laws that won't actually solve anything.
