Don't blame social media, adults are the problem
The Mercury
|December 11, 2025
CERTAIN social networks have now been banned from reaching children under the age of 16, in some countries like, Australia.
So righteously, for sure! After all it's kids who create the platforms of pornography, child - trafficking, the idea of paedophiles, religious bigotry, wars, oppression.
Children are solely to blame for the invention that effectively shuts out the public from banking halls. And causes infinite unemployment, right?
Illegal occupation of other people's rightful country was conceived by the smooth-skinned under-16 babies too, no?
Young children invented explosive -loaded mobile phones that cowardly blow up and smash even innocent resistance forces by remote control, yes?
Youngsters gang up on fishing boats and blow them up, survivors and all, on pretext of "Ganja" and other toxins aboard. Have'nt you heard?
