At whatever age they want to.
holy shit why would you deprive kids of (often their only way to have any) social contacts and think you're the good guys
You wanna get a kiddy diddler messing with your kid? Because that's how you get a kiddy diddler messing with your kid.
The same parent that handed the kid a device to be on social media can also take the kid out somewhere to socialize with other kids.
Satanic Panic but this time about pedophiles.
These laws will be used to restrict information, not to protect anyway, don't delude youraelf.
I don't care about the laws, I don't think parents should be allowing access to social media to their five year olds. Preteens maybe, with heavy supervision, yeah that's reasonable, but not toddlers for fuck's sake.
The law can go fuck itself, sure, but parents need to step the fuck up in this day and age. There is no reason for a 1st grader to be posting to X/FB/whatever. They should be playing Legos, riding bikes, and digging holes in the playground dirt.
Good luck arguing it here. I wonder how many here are 16 or younger, or close enough to that age where they grew up with the technology constantly in their face and couldn't POSSIBLY imagine having lived without it.
