(I'll take this to mean the Web.)
Even as a teenager, I was aware no one needed permission to exist on it, implying such a home of cleverness, community, benevolence and value would garner lies, ill will, delusion and clumsy thinking – that was, it seemed, the preparatory mindset with which anyone should enter it. So I take this "change" as an affirmation the Web has *not* changed in that most important way.

@simonbs@mastodon.social – This recent trend of laws forbidding teenagers, even superseding the wishes of their parents, from using some sites to communicate with each other; that kind of thing strikes me as change that's not for the better.
