You should have to actually validate your age to use social media and you should be required to be 18.

People who use age as a measure of intelligence are the proof that is doesn't work. ;)

Lmao, the article is literally talking about children under the age of 10

Yes dear, but if you take 2 minutes to understand how the threaded comment system works you will realize I was not talking about the article but replying to a specific comment who mentionned the age of "18" as some kind of cutoff date.

Well, your comment was generic of all ages. Not saying something along the lines of "16 year olds are intelligent enough to vote", which I would agree with.

We can just just lower the 18 to 16 and resume the same conversation. No need to be condescending, you're turning a misunderstanding into a disagreement

Eeew why do you sound like a cunt?

Because I am one.
