> Meta, the parent company of Instagram and Facebook, opposed the legislation, saying it would limit parental discretion and raise data privacy concerns because of the personal information users would have to provide to be age-verified. They can delegate or they can archive and choose not to use this data for anything other than the stated purpose. Are they indirectly saying that they can't restrain themselves and that any data they collect for whatever reasons is fair game ? I guess their problem is if someone submits identifying data willingly they will not be able to use it for other purposes without consent and they will look suspicious even when they infer the data/connections independently.
