    The age of consent in Norway is 16, so idk if you can apply the study to the US

      what…what the fuck does that have to do with anything? Are you saying teens who can legally fuck adults hang out out of the house more?

        If a whole nation has lowered the age, then of course people using social media are going to be using it for that reason.

        I’m saying you can’t compare cause the reasons a 16yo in Norway uses social media is going to be different than the way they use it in the US

      There’s a lot to unpack in your comment, but I’ll just leave this here with 100% not creepy intentions:

      Not all states are 18. Some are 16. Your comparison is irrelevant.

      That has nothing to do with it. Most of the world has 16 as the age of consent, as do most US states.

      The idea that in the US 18 is the age of consent comes from California-based film and television, the age of consent there is 18.

      The age of consent varies across the US. I remember in NJ the age of consent was 16 with a 4 year Romeo and Juliet clause.
