I can only affect my kingdom, what others do is mostly not my concern. Reminds me of the corporate garbage “food” products most people consume. I speak out but not going to steal their doritos.
You're the dude who spoke of the need to "reign" in teachers and advocated for restrictive whitelists.

I did and would do it again.
These are exactly the population that should be protected. If you wanted to give them agency, which I support, let them manage their own whitelists instead of throwing up hands in defeat.
The future is already here, trends are not reversing:

We can teach them to protect themselves, pretend the problem doesn't exist, or say "aww shucks, all the cool people are being violated."
You're talking about a population of 12 to 18 year olds. Even among the most responsible and least-easily influenced of them, social pressures absolutely dwarf any abstract concerns about corporations knowing a bit more about broke-ass you to try and sell you things.
Most of this population will take a short term gain for an uncertain consequence a few minutes later. You're talking about short term gain versus consequences that they may view as inevitable and occurring decades away.
