I think bans like this are a knee jerk reaction and they don't really fix the problem. For example, many of these businesses already have restrictions in place so that children under the age of 13 can't sign up for accounts without parent permission. The problem is the parents have to actually care and be active in the process monitoring their kids activity and behavior online. Sadly, that isn't the case for the ones who need it most.
Yeah, parents these days seems mostly fucken clueless as to how to raise their kids in this changing environment.
For sure and my wife as a school social worker ends up dealing with the aftermath!
