Yeah, censorship and surveillance is not the way

Maybe it's not the way. But that's not a reason for a company, who engage in their own censorship and surveillance, to shirk our laws.

Sure, but it's a reason for everyone to fight against such laws

Agree it may not be the way but it's hard to take this seriously;

"Reddit, one of the top 10 websites visited in the world, has challenged the teen social media ban on the grounds it impinges the implied freedom of political communication for under-16s."

Ah yes, social media, the best place for under 16s (or... anyone?) to engage with politics. 😂 I get the point but c'mon. Reddit. Really?
