I don't think enforcement actually needs to be very tightly controlled. The barriers that are put in place like the one you describe are already enough to create a social milieu where parents and kids with think twice about these things and understand that there is a recognised harm potential.
There's nothing stopping you pouring your youngsters a glass of wine with dinner, but as a society we've made the dangers of alcohol and similar things so well understood that no parent wants to.

Unfortunately, as a society, we have a much harder time grasping social media threat data. I suppose some of that is due to how news orgs consistently+bizarrely+hugely overstating the actual harms in the data. https://www.techdirt.com/2024/01/08/leading-save-the-kids-advocate-pushing-absolutely-dangerous-protect-the-california-ballot-initiative-that-will-do-real-harm-to-children/ https://www.techdirt.com/2024/01/08/leading-save-the-kids-ad...
- AlecSchueler 3y agoOh totally! What I'm saying is that laws like this, even when not enforceable per se, can help move society towards that understanding.

- aidenn0 3y agoJudging by how many of my kid's friends under 13 have various accounts already, I'm not sure that's the case.
- AlecSchueler 3y agoA lot of kids are given alcohol as well but I'm still happy to say that as a society we understand the danger of underage drinking.
