This is the frontier where cognitive liberty meets corporate evasion.

These aren’t isolated tragedies, they’re systemic failures. Minors weren’t just exposed to content; they were cognitively compromised by synthetic intimacy engineered for dependency. That’s not free speech. That’s behavioral manipulation.

As I’ve written before, we need a new framework…one that treats psychological design as a regulated domain, not a loophole. Emotional authenticity marketed to children without accountability isn’t innovation. It’s exploitation.

The harm here isn’t just proximate. It’s architectural. And our legal system isn’t built to see it yet.

This is a perfect example of the problem of Originalism. There's no way that this issue could have been even framed, let alone addressed, by the Founding Father in the Constitution. If a court were to pretend otherwise in making a decision, it would be an insult to the idea of fairness and justice.
