At a time when queer and trans kids are being targeted by media and legislation, it seems absurd and dangerous to try to further isolate them, and tear away and support or education they may have online.

It's somewhat disturbing that all the solutions provided in this thread are attempts to digitally control and isolate kids while never acknowledging that kids become young adults quickly, and that we live in a connected world where you can never successfully digitally isolate kids entirely. Teachers, themselves, are woefully ill educated on technology, social media, AI, and online economics. Frankly, you would probably be better off having teenagers hold classes for teachers explaining how social media and dynamics work online.

We keep trying to reject or restrict technology we all use daily under the guise of "child innocence" instead of treating children as complex human beings who need guidance to become competent adults.
