how is it not relevant?

its an example of holding the parent responsible when the child breaks a law.

if accessing social media below 16 becomes illegal, this is a literal perfect example of holding parents accountable for their kids illegal activity. you can't possibly get more relevant.

there is no reason to shift parental responsibility onto tech companies. we have existing laws that can be used as templates for social media bans.

Correct me if the US is different, but in the country I live in the onus is on the bar or liquor store if they sell alcohol to a child, not on the parent. Why would it be different for a social media ban?
