    That’s ridiculous. If you happen to own a platform that’s insanely popular among kids, why not just work to make it the best goddamned platform for kids there is, put in sensible high quality parental and safety controls for them, and keep raking in that money?

    That sounds like a far better business plan than trying to turn it into something it’s not, and that nobody actually wants in the first place.

    What an idiot.

      I mean the whole platform is designed to take advantage of kids by “allowing them” the freedom to do whatever…

      I think this is perfectly keeping with their business model of using kids for profit. And I doubt they really care all that much about consequences. Locking down the platform doesn’t net them more money after all; kids are broke.
