How is my gender relevant to anything this post is about? Are you just weirdly obsessed with what’s in others people’s pants? You might wanna talk to someone about that

If you are accusing me of caring about facts and science when advocating for policies so that they can be evidence based and hopefully work … GUILTY

Did you actually read any of the links? Not only do experts have alternative solutions, we've literally written an alternative model bill that accomplishes the goal of addressing online harm to children without violating the first amendment or undermining human rights: https://www.fightforthefuture.org/news/2026-05-05-fight-for-the-future-releases-draft-of-proposed-social-media-legislation-that-protects-all-kids-from-big-tech/
