I have three teenage daughters who are currently not allowed on social media. But I want to give them some ability before they become adults. My eldest gave me a PowerPoint presentation on why she should be allowed on Snapchat, lol. 

She made some good points. Her friend group has a group text and she wants to keep up with everyone but doesn’t want to get the ding notifications constantly. 

Feels like a good opportunity for a Fediverse platform. Like a closed Mastodon/Pixelfed server and have some parental controls. Any projects out there?

Also you protect them from online bullying by putting them in a situation that definitely could get them bullied irl? Like ha your parents dont even let you have snapchat they see your daughter as immature compared to them

"Ha your parents don't even let you do underage drinking, drugs and other shady activities?"

Same argument. You don't relinquish your authority and protection as a parent because a few losers want to make fun of your kid for being raised with a mom and dad who actually give a crap about their upbringing.

btw I have/had ultra strict parents still at 25 when I cone home lmao, still not allowed to drink ever, like not just in their own house, ofc I do but they'll never know and that led to very unsafe situations when I was younger and I was scared to goto the hospital, luckily I was fine but yeah couldve been bad, hit my head while blacked out and passed out, woke up when the ambulance came, still probably should get my head checked just in case but its been 8 years lol. I'll still never tell them about that because of how they are/were

Weird argument since most parents dont allow that and is something everyone hides
