Cyberbullying. Online death threats. Criminal harassment. Sharing explicit content. These are not just things that happen to children. They are things children do when handed a device with no preparation, no understanding of consequences, and no moral framework for the digital world.
That is what Margot means when she calls it insidious. The harm spreads in every direction.
