Sets up the most vile company preying on lonely people, runs it into the ground - then gets hired to do the exact same thing for a bigger company. It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it

I understand the argument for protecting the children from the harms, but why should we have such arguments around “lonely people”? It’s just adults consuming media tailored to their needs.

But again, I support the ban for children.
