"It's not our fault we give a free pass to the cyber criminals that blackmailed your 12 year old with AI pictures, you can't expect us to fire them or arrest them when your 12 year old shouldn't have been on that app"
"It's fine if there are abusive people working at places where we give them access to all the data in your kid's phone, as long as the abusive people help us go after jihadists. Actually, it's fine if there are jihadists working for us too.

It sucked when I was under 18 in the US. Every few years there was another "legally defined" milestone age where the authorities would do less shit to me, up to age 18 where I thought they were supposed to pretty much leave me alone.

Kids in Australia can still access Pornhub and 4chan legally, they can still talk to pedophiles on discord and WhatsApp.

You're old enough for prison, and if we catch you scrolling that's where you're going.
