    Kinda like teaching kids about heroin or cocaine.

    They should also learn not talking to strangers by putting their lives at danger.

    There have been priests that taught sex education using your logic.

      There have been priests that taught sex education using your logic.

      The kids who “learn” from such priests are kids who haven’t been exposed to proper sex ed. Generally, they’ve learned that sex is something that should be concealed. It’s a secret that the kid isn’t supposed to know about, so of course they don’t tell anyone about it, because they know how to stay out of trouble.

      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.

        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!

        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.
