Bcs kids like to experiment and grow, the dangers involved (as a side effect!!) being to them, not systemic risks to whole countries and the world.
If I did extreme sports as a kid my grandma wouldn't get radicalised from my money spent on that.
If I support a shitty app from a shitty corp my grandma could get a higher chance of seeing shitty one-sided news of just whatever is profitable to that corp.
Doing anything affects the world around you, so doing something that affects everyone & saying that you like the 'danger' doesn't make sense bcs it's not primarily towards you.
Thats why the problem 'if you click this button you get a million monies but a random person is killed' wasn't made to debate the "danger" but rather morals of such a decision.
