Analysis Summary
New York's Children's Online Safety Act doesn't ban chatting for minors—it defaults chat functions to off but lets parents turn them back on. The post inverts what the law actually does, creating false alarm about a total ban that doesn't exist. The legislation is real and targets predatory contact, but the post's characterization is materially wrong.
