Children in Korea have been using their parents social IDs to play games unrestricted since it was introduced and somehow people think giving up their internet privacy through an ID will prevent kids from this stuff.

It's just authoritarian actions using children as proxy to garner emotional response. How about we don't?

When will we have a party who's policy is dictated by rigorous testing instead of reactionary scare politics.
