The law also imposes a curfew blocking minors from accessing platforms between 10:30 pm and 6:30 am.
You know… when I was in high school back in the early 90s, I’d spend half the night on local BBSes, which were sort of proto-social media restricted to a single phone number you could dial, and a little later I used IRC and Usenet by dialing in to the university computing system. And you know what happened? I was sleepy, but I made a lot of friends, some of them for life. There’s a guy from Turkey I met on IRC when we were both in high school and I lived in the U.S. in Indiana. We still talk and we’re both in our 40s. It was worth every minute. Even the times where I got harassed, and I did get harassed, on those local BBSes.
Somehow I survived all of that without turning into a drooling imbecile, a juvenile delinquent or commit suicide in my teens. (I also played D&D!)
Teenagers stay up late. That’s just how they are. Let them enjoy it.
