   @TCatInReality The solution to "we're doing X and X is harmful to children" isn't "figure out who is a child and ban them". It's "stop doing X".

     @TCatInReality I really hate this framing because it implies the solution is policing "underage" users and policing everybody trying to determine their age and state recognized identities, rather than platforms abolishing their behaviors that are harmful to children for everyone.
