Banning kids or tracking adults?
As far as I'm concerned it doesn't matter. Even if the goal is banning kids, it's still a bad goal to have.

Pluralistic: Spying on kids to save kids from spying is very, very stupid
It really gets under my skin that nobody is fighting to improve social media. It has become the smoking section of the Internet.
Isn't that what we are doing here, at least arguably?
Kicking kids out of the smoking section? No.
I think they might have meant what WE are doing on the fediverse here, not what is happening in this article.
Improving social media is what I meant. But the metaphor is bad. Social media is a place to exercise free speech rights and otherwise participate in society, quite a different thing from smoking!
