Slop.

P.S. My takeaway from this is that all minors should be banned from the Internet.

Should minors also be banned from Earth because it isn't a kid-friendly place either?

Don't misinterpret this, Internet safety is definitely important to teach and people being creepy like this is definitely a problem... but at the same time, the Internet also has a lot of useful content and knowledge on it too, and it feels too reactionary to deprive people of that just because of their age (cf. the UK attempting exactly that). If we're going to be banning anyone from the Internet, it should be the creeps who are making it a problem.

If it makes a difference to you, I was a minor with a Reddit account back then, didn't get creeped on, and I'm an adult on Hexbear now.

hopefully some of the 14 year olds they were hitting on were also 54 year old men...

if you'd like good coverage about why current proposals for child internet safety are horrible OP, check out the work of Taylor Lorenz. she's done several stories recently on youtube and written outlets about the privacy implications for everyone.

I'd like to apologize for reminding everyone that r/drama existed.
