I don't know how to describe this response. Detailed, easy to read, friendly, informative, and much more.

I'll have to read that article a bit slower and check out some mini-docs on YouTube. Your response is much appreciated:)

I see what you're saying but imo money buys fake friends. When that money stops flowin they get goin.

I have to be honest. I really don't understand why the U.S. invested the funds. To strengthen relations? What does that mean?

Really scratching my head on this one. All the 'aid' directed at this one country could have gone to any other or even the U.S. itself. What was the real reason for this country in particular?

Social Media for children isn't great, I believe those studies are accurate. My SO and I don't have our child on any social media aside from letting her look at pictures/videos along with us. I think social media is a major contributor to the huge upsurge in mental health problems in young adults.

All that being said, I couldn't ever support forced identification to prove age. That would be like being forced to identify yourself for walking down a sidewalk.

That's diverting the responsibility of providing an inadequate environment for a child i.e. an excuse.

As shinpud said, it's about teaching your children. It's not about being big brother and monitoring their every move on the internet. There are also steps a parent can take to reduce the probability of inappropriate material that may appear.

Not uplifting news. Parents should monitor their children anywhere on the internet.

Social media is the tip of the iceberg for terrible things online.

Forcing people to identify themselves because of lazy/shitty parents is bad.
