So you want kids to understand cocaine and heroin and sex by a professional instead of a priest. If they don't then in your logic, they will fall on deaf ears.

Language is incredible. You can describe experiences that others have without actually being there or doing those things. It even works with fiction! Or horrible events like war! Or even drugs without exposing them to it!

Gatekeeping the Internet works the same way. If you’re going to do that, you might as well download the sex offender registry and invite them all to the kid’s birthday party.

I never said to prevent them from using the internet, I said social media.

You say that like there is any sort of meaningful difference.

There is a huge meaningful difference.

Again, this shows your ignorance on the topic.

I would love to hear the distinction. Please enlighten me.
