Not that I support this bill because turning over ID documents is dumb and there will be ways around it and I don't see how it is enforceable, but I am just curious if the context of content on the app motivates your opinion. Are there limits you believe in? Like take for example 8chan if it still existed. Would you be ok with Gen Z going on there to inform themselves?

No - but I oppose usage of law to prevent this, at least in this way.
Either a site should be up, or it shouldn't. I know many Gen Z individuals with better critical thinking then some people of older gens and vice versa.
As long as a site is not actively promoting harm/hate[0], it should be allowed to argue for it's ideas (whether win or lose).
