Kids are pedophiles.

It's better if I don't explain.

In the professional Trust and Safety world you find out pretty quickly that any space that allows both preteens and chatting will devolve into naughty words being exchanged while the kids explore the boundaries of this new social situation; but then you still have a job to do, which is protect kids from inappropriate content and chats, so you gotta treat the cringe the same way you treat for pedophiles. But this becomes awkward when the parents email or call in to find out why little Timmy is banned and you have to share chat logs showing little Timmy's little Timmy was maybe doing the thinking and chatting.

She has no business running opposed to conservatives, though, and will never win in that role.
