They also sold the internet early on as like this crazy dangerous place. "Keep kids safe on the internet" and the like. I don't remember ever being unsafe. Seems like my age-peers being teens at the time had too much natural skepticism or whatever to fall for everything they scare with now. Some tranny groomer would have been met with, "That sounds gay. Shut up you retarded faggot!"

Follow some people that age now, they are all way too trusting as if everything was so safe in the Apple app store they grew up in they don't know how to adapt. I've seen it with my nephew and cousin both. Their friends all share account info all the time like it's normal. When they start getting on cesspools like Discord and the like it's basically free scam targets. They are way old enough to have learned discretion, but when your entire interaction with this stuff prior was the safe harbor of the Apple App Store, how are you supposed to?
