    What a weird false dichotomy. A planet with well over 7 Billion people can do at least two things at once.

    edit: Not that I support age checks on social media, in any way. That is a bad idea for myriad reasons. For-profit corporate social media is probably the worst technological development since nukes... mutually assured distraction.

    You are correct in general, but one cannot do two things at once when the first thing is (at least, arguably) a necessary prerequisite to the second thing.
