there is no explicit reason for anyone to want a child under the age of 16 on social media. The only synopsis for this arguement is that the individual is a pedophile and wants to engage with underage children, made easier through access of social media.

Is this what you are telling me you want?

My dear imaginary online friend, it's not up to you to decide what some fictional under-16s should or shouldn't be allowed to do. It's even hard to say how much influence parents should have in their children's lives at that age.

You can come up with a bazillion problems that need to be solved and say the government should step in. The result will be that the problem is still not solved, but you've become even more of a slave to the government. Good luck with that.

Also, I have to say that you're a Monero shill using textbook statist arguments. Wow! Your identity crisis must be severe.

Monero isn't anti-government. It's a privacy-first hard digital currency.

Maybe you live in a country where the government is against you - I live in a country where the government works and fails, but tries to uplift people out of poverty and dire situations. It's not perfect, however a conscious State has the ability to know it's capacity, constraints and where it's authority lies. It tows the line or gets poesklapped by the people.

There's a need and use case for government, which I see daily.

The anarchist world you seemingly want to live in, simply does not exist. (well maybe Somaliland or some Sudanese shithole)

It's in the past and society has consciously progressed from that so that societies have better societal norms.

Unless you also prefer to shit in the street? Rape every woman you see?

Protecting children isn't a debate here. Not in 2024.

Dude you’re blind. Go learn to see. Good luck. 👍

The future will bring new forms of societal organisation.

Those examples you brought up are underdeveloped states of human organisation. But from a future perspective every state no matter how benevolent will seem under developed as well.
