    I guess she assumes that parents are always willing and able to do the best for their kids and can’t be at fault if something bad happens to them.

    Ghey is campaigning for the introduction of “children’s phones” with no social media apps, which are linked to their parents’ devices.

    This would probably kill more trans kids than the current system ever could.

      Kids phones, what restrictions you make to make them safe?.. No social media may make them safe but many trans kids use them to get support too Maybe you add a reminders that tell them “hey your phone isn’t all your life” although I doubt that will help too much
