    I suppose the next question is where will everyone go? If they wanted to keep kids safe this ain’t it because they’ll go somewhere else anyways. So it’s a lose/lose for everyone.

    Possibly a win for companies if they want to harvest data/sell it.

      Uh…anywhere? There are plenty of alternatives that are less bloated and less shitty and faster.

      I honestly don’t even know why people use it.
