    Most of kids get a smartphone before their teens and it's not like they bought it for themselves... How can you hold a 12 years old accountable?

    GenZ is like a giant, unaware focus group for a product (the smartphone/social media environment) that has been beta-tested after release. Only very recently, as a society, we've started to adjust to it

    What’s funny is, Gen X, and millennials seems to have no excuses for the mistakes they made.

    Imagine that.

    1. That's the same for every generation, isn't it? Have you ever heard a boomer recognize a mistake? And I'm not even going to mention GenX as they're the least relevant generation of all time.
    2. You're using the Donald Trump's "strategy of avoiding my question with disdain for the opposite": do you seriously think a 12 years old (or younger) can be held accountable if you give them a highly addictive, brain-rotting, paranoia machine?

    Gen Z did nothing but grow up in the world made for them. Zero accountability indeed.

    As did Gen X and millennials. Yet they don’t seem to have this built-in excuse to do no wrong.

    Every generation seems to have the same excuse of it 'not being their fault', by and large they are accurate. Millennials didn't cause the Great Recession, they lived through it. Gen Z didn't cause COVID, they lived through it.
