To everyone who thinks it's important to regulate young people's access to the internet:
Whatever policy or technological fix you imagine is the right solution, please---I am begging you---*please* carefully think through what the implications will be for a teenager experiencing active physical abuse at home.
For those of us who live in safety, it's easy to focus on the negative aspects of the internet and social media, and easy to forget the positive. Think of the most positive experience you've had on or as a result of digital communications.
Maybe it's a late night text exchange when you're feeling down. Or exchanging emails to coordinate lunch plans.
Then think about what it would mean for you if your access to that technology was controlled by someone who wanted to control or hurt you.
Even fairly innocuous-seeming barriers like school computers limiting time spent on social media websites can present real problems when that school computer is the only device not monitored by an abusive parent.
Do you have your own stories about what the internet has done for you? Talk about it more.
It's easy to focus on the negative, and the concrete and present risks to so many of *not* being able to access the internet freely are too easy for those with privilege to forget.
Feel free to boost any of the above for visibility.
But I think it would be even more valuable to talk about it in your own words.
