Yet, absent from these discussions is even a cursory recognition that the new medium of gay-targeted social networking may be a crucial social outlet for gay, bisexual, and questioning youth. While gay youth-oriented chat rooms and social networking services were available in the early 2000s, these services have largely fallen by the wayside, in favor of general-purpose platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Snapchat. Perhaps this is truly representative of an increasingly absent demand among young adults for networked spaces to engage with peers about their sexuality; but itβs worth considering how, if at all, the current generation of popular sites of gay networked sociability might fit into an overall queer social landscape that increasingly includes individuals under the age of 18. Even with the serviceβs extensive content management, Grindr may well be too lewd or too hook-up-oriented to be a safe and age-appropriate resource for teenagers; but the fact that people under 18 are on these services already indicates that we canβt readily dismiss these platforms out of hand as loci for queer youth culture. Rather than merely trying to absolve themselves of legal responsibility or, worse, trying to drive out teenagers entirely, service providers should instead focus on crafting safety strategies that can accommodate a wide variety of use cases for platforms like Grindr β including, possibly, their role in safely connecting queer young adults.

I guess all those pedos that tried grooming me as a 14/M/UK in yahoo chat in 1999 just all went away and stopped using the Internet. Kids naively using the internet to find people their own age to chat to instead being directed by jannies and other "authorities" into the hands of people like Bardfinn, Merari, Aimee Challinor and that whole p-do-friendly network of freaks and frickups.
These nutters forget that the Internet has been around a while, pedos even longer, and us people concerned about pedos aren't just spooked by a phantom, we've actually seen them operating because they're pretty open about it.
Truly fricking disgusts me.

When somebody constantly wants to have conversations with minors about their sexuality, 9 times out of 10 that person is a p-do. I'm not saying that minors shouldn't have any conversations about sexuality: everybody needs to get "the talk" so that they are educated and can stay safe in the sexual marketplace. What I'm saying is that talking to kids about s*x isn't fun, it's awkward and embarrassing, so when you see somebody who's eager to do it and seeks out opportunities to have these conversations at every turn, they're probably pedos.
This isn't rocket science, this is common sense.

I just want to educate the youth of today so they can feel safe and totally not pressured into a specific ideology

Itβs insane to me how much the msm and a subset of gay activists have tired to gas light everyone that grooming doesnβt happen online. I still see journ*lists sell the furry community as a safe space for queer teens. I wasnβt groomed by those fricks at 13 only to have journos funnel more and younger kids into the p-do den.
