The issue with this argument is that many kids don’t have good parents, and some don’t have any parents at all.

Are those kids just supposed to be left to the mercy of bad actors because of their circumstances?

    Guess we just let for profit companies and authoritarian states suck up all the data on everyone whether it works or not then.

    I didn’t say I approve of the current tactics, I’m just pointing out that circumstances can be more complex than simply saying ‘let the parents sort it out’ and leaving it at that.
