What's worse?

Illegal gambling in traditional sense (poker, dice, slots, etc) or legal gambling loopholes like video game lootboxes? 🤔

Probably loot boxes since it more directly targets children

Much like flavored tobacco or alcoholic drinks directly target children. /s

Downvote but no argument? It's exactly the same kind of logic being used to push age verification laws.

Protecing children is a parents job first and foremost, all the excuses I hear from parents read to me like maybe you shouldn't have had children if you can't dedicate the time to educating yourself and watching over their activities to a minimal degree.

All the laws being proposed and implemented generally just impact adults much more then children anyway.
