There are ways of protecting kids from the chaotic influence of the internet. Most states prohibit minors from viewing porn and they’re developing more effective ways to enforce it. Similarly, some states are prohibiting kids from using Instagram until they’re 13.
In New Zealand they’ve made it illegal to preach religion to kids. I don’t know exactly the the method but I’ve seen firsthand that it’s possible.
I won’t be able to find the exact ordinance and I don’t really care enough to search for it. I’ve heard from reliable sources and I witnessed firsthand that missionaries in New Zealand are not allowed to talk to kids. There are lots of missionaries, especially Mormons, so the rule is widely known.
“Missionaries are not allowed to talk to kids” is not the same as “preaching to kids is illegal.” And the fact that you won’t even look it up and are doing the “trust me, bro” thing makes me doubt even that is true.

I lived there for seven years. I’ve seen and heard it directly.
Fine, show me the law.

Because, again, I looked and found nothing.
Oh, I’ve figured out how to reply. I’m using Eternity for Lemmy and it has a few bugs.
I simply won’t be able to find the exact ordinance. You can believe me or not. I won’t lose sleep over it.
Are you in favor of religious organizations targeting children under the age of 16?
