Nope, not the point at all. 1) People tend to not act like themselves when you put a camera on them, and that goes double for kids. 2) I'd rather my kid not become the next Nick Sandmann.

Sure it's awful. It doesn't make it untrue. Maybe "hate" is too strong a word. Maybe "hold in contempt" or "disdain" might be better, but the result is the same.
