And yet on every social metric the USA fails to make the top 10.....

The USA has always been a F'd up country. Racist, bigoted, sexist, etc etc etc

Hell I read the Florida Republicans blocked a law stopping the marriage between cousins. Same group I believe who think marrying a 14 year old is OK too.
It's hilarious to see the same people claiming "Morals come from god" being the most immoral people.
But what can the world expect from a country that shoots its own children in schools.

Tell me a law that is never broken.
If that is a requirement, then you may as well remove all laws

Need to ask why it is the adults who are getting upset about the lack of children on social media....

I am a Kiwi.
NZ is NOT perfect, we have our issues just like any other country, but we are a better than the USA. for most social metrics

As for being bent out of shape about hurting kids, yeah you should be too.
They can not defend themselves
They did not choose who their parents are, what race, religion, gender, place of birth etc etc etc they would be born into.

ROTFLMAO, you think the agreement range somehow makes it better ?
But its 1-19

I DONT live in the USA, I live in a real democracy, with gun control, with universal health, with social safety nets, etc etc etc, not perfect, but its a damn sight better than the USA.

When the US works out that US laws etc end at the US boarder the world will become a safer place.
The US did NOT win WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam , Afghanistan, Iran, etc etc etc, that is false history taught to the US to make them believe they are so great
But the world is moving away from the USA, Trump highlighted the US is no ones ally.
Its moving financially, technologically, trade, etc etc etc etc.
Throw on more tariffs , it will only accelerate the move.
The USA is 4% of the worlds population, betting long term on the 96% is the safe bet, its already much much bigger then the USA and growing.

So keep killing yourselves, so far the US has killed more of its own people than every war the USA has been involved in, including the civil war.
And as the US declines, that carnage will only increase too. And the world has given up caring....school shooting...it must be Tuesday.

The shifted to Russia because the USA was not as bigoted, racist, misogynistic as the USA ....and many of them are now on the front line,

And yet their crime rate is lower, the education system is better, the healthcare system it better, they don't have school shootings, the people are more relaxed.

Plenty of you tube videos of Americans who shifted and will never go back to the USA hellhole.

Name one law that is perfect... I'll wait.

Does any law work then ?
The USA has the largest adult population in the world behind bars
1% of its adult population, another 3-4 % on probation or other legal monitoring.

Shooting kids is the Number 1 reason kids die in the USA.... do those laws work ?
The murder rate etc is so much higher in the USA than other 1st world countries it's not funny.
What's the difference.... gun control laws, mental healthcare, social safety nets, universal healthcare, good education, etc etc etc all things the USA has given up on or never had in the first place.
Its been 200 years, how much more proof do you need you have it WRONG ?

They have Oligarchs instead.

Mass surveillance is already the norm.
You allowed it to get free stuff on the internet, YOU became the product.
Even the 3 letter spaghetti agencies are buying data on the open market

"Perceived" , its 100% real.
Think of all the dumb stuff you did as a kid.... now think about how, if it was all recorded and never went away, it stuck with you for life..... how F'd up would YOUR life be now ?

The world already look at the USA as being insane....school shootings..... to the USA this is so normal no one will or wants to do anything about it except "Thoughts and Prayers", meanwhile guns are the number 1 killer of kids in the USA.
That is so F'd up
So they are learning right from primary school fear, PTSD, paranoia, hate, bigotry, racism, etc etc and then you want to cause even MORE mental health issues ?
Zuc etc KNOW their service is addictive, it's designed to be. They are no different from Tobacco sellers who denied it all for decades, make up fake research papers, etc etc etc.

How about getting rid of social media....you will keep far more privacy that way. Get rid of internet tracking systems, cookies, tracking pixels, browser fingerprinting, etc etc etc. THAT there is privacy, but you face it away for "free" product without realising YOU were the product.

Complete BS and paranoia.
They KNOW their product is addictive, especially to kids whose brains are still developing. Giving them Dopamine hit triggers the pleasure centres of the brain, effectively making them drug addicts , supplied by Social media.

The last think they want is kids without social media, and reaching an age where they have been taught critical thinking, how social and other media works, how sales pitches work, different kinds of addictions, bullying, blackmail, sexual extortion, No means NO, etc etc etc. They will be taught the mental health benefits of face to face social interaction
Social media already knows who you are, they probably know more about you than your family.
They buy and sell information about you from all sources, cellphone tracking, credit card purchases , services you have (internet, power, gas, phone, Netflix etc
Kids have exactly ONE chance to grow up into healthy adults, ones who will have productive lives. If THEY fail, you old age is going to be horrific , poverty, ill health, no services etc etc.

I am 100% selfish, I want ever kid born today to be working so that my retirement is as good as it can be.

There are also risks in not doing anything, and currently these vastly out weight peoples ability to watch porn anonymously.

BS....make your tinfoil hat a little larger.
They are anti anything that could reduce engagement which is why they deliberately use addictive methods to keep people coming back.
