I’m certainly not arguing against content moderation for the littles. I just disagree with the reasons they cite, you know, the whole video games cause violence, and the bigger brother that is whatever BS puritanical religious zealots come up with to force their opinions on the pubic.
Define a list of things we don’t want kids to see / know about at various ages, and why, then go on from there. There’s way too much bullshit in the laws that are just prior generations trying to force the next generations to not change, which is their prerogative, I just wish we could be honest about it.
Oh, I 100% agree. Policies like this should be based on actual science, and things like MTX (i.e. actual gambling) cause way more harm than learning poker hands (i.e. gambling-adjacent). I’m totally fine w/ my kids playing Balatro, I’m not fine w/ my kids playing Fortnite (PEGI 3-12, depending on mode), and that’s based on facts instead of whatever the PEGI system is based on (feels?).
