Why is this the most upvoted comment, yet when the UK repents teens form social media it’s met with “aDulTs arE bEiNg monItoRed”.

I agree with Norway here, and it’s slightly exhausting to see people attack any country that’s trying to protect kids as somehow coming for everyone’s supposed sovereignty.

I care about the youth and know they are in the midst of a culture war with adults, leave them out of it until we figure out a path forward.

edit: (crazy to see +11 on my comment, and also -1 when refreshing. Clearly my comment is divisive. This is honestly validating that adults simply cannot find common ground in this topic - especially HN)

Because banning smartphones in schools doesn’t affect adults not in those schools, whereas age verification does?

How you implement these protections matter.

Is Norway forcing all internet users to provide their ID to access all internet services?
