    That’s sort of the problem with… reality, man. Both you and this kid are right, life isn’t black and white and there are a lot moving parts.

    You’re 100% right that nobody should be getting political information from social media. This kid stating that is showing his age. Social media is a cess pool to become politically informed.

    But he’s also right that this sort of thing can be a slippery slope.

      That’s a line from the news site’s reporter, not the kid. It’s a slippery slope though for sure, but because of the age verification thing. They ought to ban black box ranking outright for all ages.
