If that's the case, then the way (W)estern, (E)ducated, (I)ndustrialized, (R)ich, and (D)emocratic countries raise their real children into becoming merely older children has hit an all-time low. Or high, depending on how one looks at it.
15-years-old are children? What kind of nonsense is this?
I understand wanting to prevent actual children, that is, those up to 11-years-old, from watching unvetted content. And providing a transition period on a curve once someone leaves childhood at 12 years of age and becomes a pre-teen, then a teen at 14.
But calling those in the 12-to-15 bracket "children" is an utter and complete absurd!
Oops! I inverter the sign. It's a+b >> c+d, not the other way around.
Why would it be cheaper for the government to buy than the expected profit?
It might be worth it when a government factors in: a) the costs of treating obesity-related illnesses in public healthcare networks for countries with universal healthcare, which are most of them, and b) the reduced productivity caused by obesity, which leads to a non-insignificant reduction on GDP and in taxes collected, versus c) the cost of the buying the patent outright, plus d) the cost of manufacturing it in great enough quantity to, again in universal healthcare countries, distribute it for free to the population.
If a+b << c+d, it'd make "National Interests" levels of economic sense. And even more so if that was done by an international organization backed by several such governments.

The side of truth always loses at first. Then truth comes back with a vengeance. It happens every time.
Are you a billionaire? No?
Do you hope to become one, and have a clear path ahead to reach that objective? Also no?
Then why are you defending them?

The reason that every major university maintains a department of mathematics is that it's cheaper than institutionalizing all those people.
