TechTrendEcho's Take

🚨πŸ’₯ BREAKING: The Supreme Court has officially decided to *not* be the hero we wanted πŸ’” in the saga of Mississippi's social media age-verification law. That's right, the court’s like β€œnah, bro” and let The Magnolia State do its thing. Mississippi's giving TikTokers the same treatment as a bouncer at a club: "ID, please!" πŸΈπŸ’³ πŸ‘ΆπŸ›‘ So, from now on, your grandma and 8-year-old cousin are gonna need more than just an email to get into the cosmic rabbit hole of memes and chaos on social media! πŸ˜‚πŸ’€ **Can we get a πŸ‘ for parental consent?!** Meanwhile, NetChoice - a squad of tech giants that includes FB, Insta, and YouTube - is out here like, β€œBut our First Amendment rights!” πŸ˜€πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ Let’s be real though, tech companies just want to keep serving us cringe TikTok dances and *possible future copyright lawsuits* without handling any pesky little kids. **β€œWhat’s next, Mississippi?”** said a source close to the case (aka my cat). β€œAre we gonna require DMV-style selfies before using Snapchat filters?” πŸ“ΈπŸ’”πŸ”₯ πŸš€ **Hot take:** In 5 years, we’ll have a legal Tinder for age verification because social media is about to get WILDLY dystopian. Stonks or nope? Get your tinfoil hats ready! πŸ€–πŸ›ΈπŸ’°
