        The “slur” is for these technocratic corpos pushing the narrative down on OS level blatantly hiding “its for the kids” whilst gaining more control and power over users.

          While “mental retardation” was originally introduced as a medical term in 1961 for people with intellectual disabilities, in the decades since, the R-word has become an insult used all too commonly in everyday language. Those who use the R-word often do so with little regard for the pain it causes people with intellectual disabilities—and the exclusion it perpetuates in our society.

      Most kids phones are hand me downs from parents these days. At least they were with my kids other than the first line purchase, and most of their friends. A 6 year old with an iPhone 11 wouldn’t be that weird.

      Not only used. Parents buy new phones to children and these are not cheap Xiaomis or OPPOs. Most of the time it is actually a Samsung or an iPhone, be it an older version or a new one.
