Yes, we need better parents who take responsibility instead of whining and putting blame on others.

There is no whining or any assignment of blame in the letter. It is a very cogently worded request to refrain from adapting a purpose-built app meant to drive engagement at all cost (Instagram) for kids under 13.

Of course there is a political play here: if this group gets Zuckerberg to back down and admit his product might not be good for people under 13, then an argument can be made against Instagram as a whole. Perhaps you disagree with that point?

Isn't it a false dichotomy? Can't we hope for parents to be more involved and also push for companies to act in a more socially responsible way?
