It's necessary to mandate oversight for internet usage by under-25s (the age when brain development stops) at the federal level. Enough is enough!

The “brain devt stops at age X” is pseudoscience. Some physiological growth may stop, yes, but you can still get addicted to things at any age.

Are you being facetious or facist? I can't tell.

Me neither. I'm sending words of support, because I don't know why you're downvoted.

I assume parent's post is sarcasm, but I'm not 100% sure - I know there are people who hold similar views unironically.
