Eroding freedoms based on "for the children" is a slippery slope but in this case I believe it is well justified. There is a gross amount of what I'd call sexual aggression in these apps between primarily older males towards younger, often underage, girls (and boys). Users treat these apps like porn sites, whether its to view public instagram photos, private messages, or even public comments. If you cannot police the worst of these activities I do not believe governments should allow companies to profit off them.
