No. 15yos are not smart enough to get pregnant, apply for a mortgage, drive, submit taxes, and represent themselves in courts. Because social media are corporations’ biggest network effect exploiter, and it addicts folks more perversely than some plant’s powder.
Social media is not the internet. And lemmy still requires guardian supervision. If my kids need internet, it’ll be for things they need, and maybe a few pleasantries. But not corporate manipulation.
