This is hilarious. If those hundred thousand parents can’t control their children, why do they imagine the government can?
why not have the parents just not allow them from having a phone? am I missing something that requires an actual phone instead of a computer?
the social pressure of other kids
Kid: “Everyone in class has a phone! I hate you! 😭”
Parent: “🤔It can’t be my fault my kids hate me. The other parents are the problem. 😤”
So… kids don’t need to catch an uber, check a bus schedule, see what’s on at the local cinema,.etc?
The fact is that many services and information channels are now internet first and limiting access to the home seems like it would be a problem.
Edit: checking a bank balance is another one. With an increase in digital transactions and a decrease in available ATMs, having an tool to check your balance seems crucial.
And it wouldn’t be nearly as much of a problem if parents weren’t buying them for their children. Why do they need it to be a law?
To have something to point at when schools and hobbies and groups etc demand that you use WhatsApp or something on order to attend.
