Why don’t governments force parental responsibilities instead? We wouldn’t need all our data sitting there waiting for the next data breach.

Because they don't actually care abt kids or the Epstein class would all be in jail and they wouldn't be facilitating the bombing of schools.

Because the data is what they want, of course.

A bit of a dishonest question, but wouldn't that argument lead to minors being able to buy alcohol "for their parents"? We are now shifting the responsibility to the stores, not the parents.

I have my reasons to think it's not a fair comparison, but I'll like to hear other's.

So you’d rather have everyone’s data subject to being exposed and your behaviour tracked, as opposed to parents looking after and paying some attention to their kids? Wow.

Giving an iPad at your kids is not good for anyone. It’s easy though.

No, but it you missed so much what I said the first time I don't think spelling it again will help.

We've seen parents fail over and over again. Some parents definitely need a helping hand.
