I've been watching the Congressional hearing, where they're basically raking big tech CEOs over the coals for failing to "protect the children".
And I started thinking, not even poor adults have a "right" to the Internet. Feel free to check the Constitution for yourself. If adults don't have it, at which point did kids get a right to the Internet?
I'm not insensitive to little girls weighing 60 pounds, because they think that makes them look "pretty" (anorexia nervosa), but why would any responsible parent not take it away?
Maybe it's because I work in IT, and I know how to put the filters on, but whatever happened to the word NO?
NO, you cannot have a Facebook account.
NO, you cannot post pictures to Instagram.
NO, you will not be on twitter.
Is it me? Am I missing something? Or have the inmates been put in charge of the asylum?
There is no constitutional right to the Internet.
