There's this cognitive dissonance that we don't need to police things made for children because no one would be so evil as to manipulate a child, but also we're constantly worrying about random people manipulating our children. Like.... Why don't we turn that scrutiny towards the corporations obviously manipulating our children for their own gain? Why isn't advertising to children banned as a form of brainwashing??

So many contradictions....
