Yeah I know I was pulling for people when I was 15, only because I was confident and now had ID. When I was in high school I “accidentally” found out how the school was blocking webpages and was helping people get to pages they wanted to go to by simply deleting the entry for said page. In the morning after the system rebooted all the locks and logs were erased so I could do it all over again, except for every other Thursday or the first Thursday of the month or something like that because that was when the IT guy came to the school to do their thing, this was in the early 2000’s so it was not hard. If I were to be in high school today, it may be a little more difficult if I did not know what I know now about networking. Funny story about how I found out how the school was blocking things was I misspelt an address and it brought me to some porn site, so I went looking for where the blocked sites where stored.

In no way am I saying this is going to stop kiddos from using the traditional, or whatever they called it, social media and AI. “Life it finds a way!” I am not calling the internet life I am calling the children life.

The more I think about it, the more it's clear that the intent here isn't to prevent kids from using social media - it's about forcing the social media companies to implement "adequate safeguards."

There's an exception available for them if they do, and a surprisingly hefty fine for violations.
