    Someone else had brought up in the past few days that parents either don’t know that parental controls like this exist. Or they don’t care.

    This law puts that age setting front and center and allows apps, like Discord, so say “no <13 year olds”. I think where this maybe gets tricky is if an app says “only <13 year olds”. As like people have said there is nothing stopping people from lying, and that is a two-way street.

      No. All this law does it promote more data collection and impose more restrictions.
      They don’t care about the children and, even if they did, it’s the parents’ job to parent them.

          What reason is that? What mess? I don’t give a shit what other people’s kids do on the Internet.
