If you want to limit the use of social media by minors using legislation, the only effective means these days is with some form of credit card requirement, or state issued ID. Either of these are a cost and risk to utilize. The net effect will be a poor tax which centralizes power among those who can afford pay the tax.
I myself don't have extra money to give Twitter, for example... and thus its utility for me is going to take a huge hit as the new rules take effect.
Social media isn't bad... social media moderated by AI to maximize engagement (and thus profit) is downright evil.
- idontwantthis 4y agoIf it’s a poor tax then that means poor kids will grow up with better social skills and self image than rich kids. Sounds like a fair deal to me.
- mikewarot 4y agoThat's not how it works... poor kids get junk food, they'll get junk media too. Most communication is computer mediated, the poor kids won't be heard.
