   I recorded a video harassing the employees of a company, I uploaded it to the servers of said company, and they removed it. Who could have imagined this would happen?

      They host literal child porn as of now but ok... looks like they have their priorities in check

      It's a bit frustrating to see this video immediately sniped while Meta continues to host some of the most insidious content on the internet.

      It actually scares me that kids can read IG comment sections.

         I've found Instagram comments to be heavily censored. What exactly are you worried about?

            Mostly vast amounts of sexism, but I also see racism, antisemitism and islamophobia waaay too much. The 'isms' tend to glom onto certain posts and go nuts. Algorithmic feeds at their finest, I guess.

         They cant if they dont have an Instagram account. Easy solution.

            This "ban all kids" kind of take is bananas to me. It implies you either A) believe we should trust famously secure and benevolent tech companies with government ID or B) believe parents have the time or technical know-how to exhaustively monitor the internet access of kids. Even as a software engineer, I've found it insanely tiresome to try operating half-assed parental controls across devices.

               The world is not black and white, it is possible to have completely different opinions to the narrow dichotomy you have presented.

                  Please educate me on what other options are viable for keeping kids off social media.

      You okay bro? Blink twice if the Meta has your family in danger.

      That's not very "digital town square" of them
